Ring roads as a ‘spatial imaginary’ has been quite a hit around the world. Most large cities around the world have one.
Bypasses around many large and small towns were built in many areas when many old roads were upgraded to four-lane status in the 1930s to 1950s, leaving the old road in place to serve the town or city, but allowing through travelers to continue on a wider and faster route.
Construction of fully circumferential ring roads has generally occurred more recently, beginning in the 1960s in many areas, when the U.S. Interstate Highway System and similar-quality roads elsewhere were designed.
