Road closures for today's eco-mobility festival
Workers, residents and visitors to Sandton in October are encouraged to leave their private cars at home and make use of a wide range of alternative transport options to gain access to the precinct.

Travelling from point-to-point within Sandton can be done on tuk-tuks, pedi-cabs, electric vehicles and metered taxis, including the Uber service.
