A beltway (American English), ring road or orbital motorway (British English) is a circumferential highway found around many cities. Often it originally enclosed the built up area and was later encroached upon by developed areas - and some cities have proposed or built second and even third beltways. In the United States, many beltways are part of the Interstate highway system.
The main purpose of beltways is deflecting some traffic from the city.
South Africa has the most advanced road system of any African country - a legacy of the Apartheid government. Most of the major cities' ring roads were built in the 1970s. Well constructed, they are on par with the best in the Western world.
The list of significant South African metropolitan ring roads are shown here:
Newly built independent commercial complex at a prime location facing ringroad in J.P.Nagar 2nd stage is available for Rental.
Newly built, architect designed, independent corner commercial complex at a prime location on Ringroad in JP Nagar 5th phase is available for rent.
Newly built architect designed independent commercial complex at a prime location on ringroad adjacent to ISRO complex near Marthahalli is available available for rent.
This page examines proposals for an outer ringroad that also includes train and/or Skytrain services (the idea being that existing inner city mass transit systems would stretch out to the ringroad) as well as ideas for the Industrial RingRoad which includes a giant bridge over the Chao Phraya River.
The ringroad can serve up to 100,000 vehicles a day and is expected to relieve traffic volume on the nearby Rama IX bridge by 50%.
This Industrial RingRoad is for transportation between the industrial estates in Prapadaeng and Samut Prakarn and Klongtoei Port and the connection to Rama 2 Highway, Sukhumvit Road and Bangna - Bang Pakong Highway with the total price tag of 8.7 billion baht.
