Abstract: Abstract Originally conceived as a means of diverting through traffic away from congested central-city areas, circumferential limited-access highways (often referred to as beltways, ring roads, or loops) have become integral parts of the intra-metropolitan highway system. Many cities and metropolitan areas have their distinguishing beltways. To name just a few, the Berliner Ring, the London Orbital, and the Capital Beltway. Figure 9.1 displays the sketch highway networks of eight beltway cities in America during 1976-1980.
