1. Ring road
A ring road is a road or connected system of roads that runs around or partly around a city, town or urban area. It is designed to distribute traffic between different parts of the area and to allow through traffic to bypass congested central streets.
A ring road is not necessarily a motorway or expressway. It may consist of motorways, divided highways, ordinary roads or a combination of different road types. The applicable speed limits, access restrictions, priority rules and lane rules therefore depend on the individual section and the local traffic signs and regulations.
What is a ring road?
A ring road is a road or connected route that runs around or partly around an urban area and helps distribute traffic between different destinations without requiring all traffic to pass through the centre.
