The M19 begins in Lyttelton Manor, at a junction with the M18 route (Botha Avenue). It begins by heading south-west as Cantonments Road, then as Rabie Street, meeting the M34 route (Jean Avenue) adjacent to the Jean Crossing Mall, to enter the Centurion CBD, where it crosses the Hennops River, bends to the south and becomes John Vorster Drive.^[5]
