The London Ringways were a series of four ring roads planned in the 1960s to circle London at various distances from the city centre. They were part of a comprehensive scheme developed by the Greater London Council to alleviate traffic congestion on the city's road system by providing high speed motorway-standard roads within the capital linking a series of radial roads taking traffic into and out of the city. Following the campaign by Homes before Roads, the scheme was cancelled in 1973 at which point only three sections had been constructed.〔"Within London, a few fragments had been built: the Ringway 1 East Cross Route was complete by the early 1970s, and the A40(M) Westway and a short stub of the West Cross Route were open to traffic before the GLDP inquiry halted the plans." – 〕 ==Ringways== *Ringway 1 - The London Motorway box, comprising the North, East, South and West Cross Routes. *Ringway 2 - Upgrade of North Circular Road and replacement for South Circular Road. *Ringway 3 - A new road, the north section of which became part of the M25. *Ringway 4 - A new road, the south section of which became part of the M25 and M26. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Ringways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
