The establishment of a Unicity in the area of Greater Johannesburg was driven mainly by the realisation that the inequities that existed in Greater Johannesburg would be equally unmanageable. The decision to map out a new service delivery plan through the Egoli 2002 Plan has resulted in the creation of 10 independent service provider companies in the form of Utilities. Agencies and Companies (AUCs): these entities are Municipal Business Enterprises (MBEs) as defined in the Municipal Systems Act. The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) is one of two agencies created and was formed in November 2000 to manage traffic signals, storm water, road reserve and roadway.

The Johannesburg Roads Agency has been registered as a Proprietary Limited Company, and the company has been registered with the South African Revenue Services for PAYE and company tax purposes. The City of Johannesburg is the sole shareholder of the Johannesburg Roads Agency. The Johannesburg Roads Agency (Pty) Ltd commenced its business on 1 January 2001 with the City of Johannesburg being the sole shareholder. The JRA’s core competencies are the planning, design, construction, operation, control, rehabilitation and maintenance of the roads and stormwater infrastructure in the City of Johannesburg.
