1. Ring road

A ring road (also called a beltway, orbital road, or circumferential road) is a major road or highway that goes around the outside of a city or town, forming a circular or semi-circular route. It is designed to divert traffic away from the city center and connect different parts of the city without the need to pass through the inner areas.

  • Reduce traffic congestion in city centers.
  • Provide a fast route for long-distance traffic to bypass the city.
  • Connect highways and main roads around the city.
  • Make commuting and goods transport easier and faster.
  • Typically a multi-lane road with entry and exit points at key locations.
  • May include intersections, overpasses, underpasses, and flyovers.
  • Examples of Ring Roads:
    • M25 Motorway around London, UK.
    • Boulevard Périphérique around Paris, France.
    • Delhi Ring Road in India.
    • Atlanta Beltway (I-285) in USA.
