other main road that traverses through Hilton. The R103 is the original N3 and served the same function before the construction of the highway. Similarly to the current N3, the R103 was the main road between Durban and Howick via Pietermaritzburg and thus the name of the road being Old Howick Road. The R103 links the town to Cedara, Howick, Mooi River and Estcourt in the north-west and Pietermaritzburg, Camperdown, Cato Ridge, Hillcrest and Durban (via the M13) in the south-east.
