The M20 continues north-north-west for 7 kilometres, through the northern part of Rosslyn, to enter Soshanguve South, where it reaches a junction with Hebron Road. Here, the M20 becomes Hebron Road towards the north-west. It heads north-west for 7 kilometres, meeting the M17 route, to leave the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and enter the township of Hebron in the Madibeng Local Municipality, where it ends at a junction with the M21 route (Molefe Makinta Highway).^[5]
