The R80 is a provincial route in South Africa that connects Pretoria with Soshanguve. It is a dual carriageway freeway, with 2 or 3 lanes in each direction at different points.
It passes through the Theo Martins Gateway (Afrikaans:Theo Martins Poort), a mountain pass over the Magaliesberg mountains, and the northbound carriageway has a rising hairpin bend, approaching the pass, as the freeway abruptly switches an from east-west to a south-north direction.
An interchange has been constructed that links the road with the N4 Northern Bypass, which is part of the Platinum Bakwena Toll Road.
