Commissioner Street is a major one-way street (westwards) in the Central Business District of Johannesburg, South Africa. It runs from the M31 (Joe Slovo Drive; Sivewright Avenue) to the R41 (Main Reef Road), and is indicated as part of the R24. The Carlton Centre, the 2nd-tallest building in Africa (the tallest office building in Africa), is located on the street, as is the southern end of Newtown.[1] There is little evidence of Commissioner Street's exact origin, although it is known that this street played a role in the development of Johannesburg.[2]
