Germiston on the road
Germiston is an old railway town on the East Rand, with a huge marshalling yard, freight terminals and industrial suburbs like Wadeville, Isando and Driehoek. The N3 and the N12 meet near Elands interchange, and the R21 and the M2 carry heavy commuter and truck traffic. Many trucks make deliveries to factories and warehouses here, and broken down rigs in narrow industrial streets need careful recovery. Commuters travel through Primrose, Bedfordview and Elsburg every day. Highveld summer storms bring hail and flash floods to low roads near Gerston Lake, while winter mornings bring smog and frost. People ask for truck recovery, car tows, lowbeds for machinery and tow bars for work trailers.
