Rocade De Bordeaux
The Rocade de Bordeaux is a ring road crosses almost all the municipalities of Bordeaux Métropole and the Bordeaux urban area. It is made up of A630 autoroute, section of European routes E5 and E70, on the left bank of the Garonne (western ring road), and route nationale 230 on the right bank (east ring road). It is located in the extension of the A10 autoroute and at the intersection of the A89 (via route nationale 89), A62 and A63 autoroutes. It is long, making it the longest ring road in France before Nantes (43 km), Paris (35.5 km), Toulouse (35 km) and Rennes (31 km). The term ring road was preferred to that of peripheral boulevard to avoid confusion with the boulevards surrounding the city center of Bordeaux. Rocade de Bordeaux is monitored by the C.R.S. Aquitaine motorway based in Cenon. This police service can be reached at number 112 or at 05.56.31.79.22 for any emergency on the Bordeaux motorway sector.

Ring Road
A ring road (also known as circular road, beltline, beltway, circumferential (high)way, loop, bypass or orbital) is a road or a series of connected roads encircling a town, city, or country. The most common purpose of a ring road is to assist in reducing traffic volumes in the urban centre, such as by offering an alternate route around the city for drivers who do not need to stop in the city core. Ring roads can also serve to connect suburbs to each other, allowing efficient travel between them. Nomenclature The name "ring road" is used for the majority of metropolitan circumferential routes in Europe, such as the Bundesautobahn 10, Berliner Ring, the Brussels Ring, the A10 motorway (Netherlands), Amsterdam Ring, the Boulevard Périphérique around Paris and the Leeds Leeds Inner Ring Road, Inner and Leeds Outer Ring Road, Outer ring roads. Australia, Pakistan and India also use the term ring road, as in Melbourne's M80 Ring Road, Melbourne, Western Ring Road, Lahore's Lahore ...

Boulevard Périphérique
The Boulevard Périphérique (), often called the Périph', is a controlled-access dual-carriageway ring road in Paris, France. With a few exceptions (see '' Structure and Layout''), it is situated along Paris's administrative limit. The speed limit along the Périphérique is 70 km/h (45 mph). Each ring generally has four traffic lanes, with no hard shoulder. Its major interchanges are called ''portes''. At junctions, vehicles in the rightmost lane (separated from other lanes in these areas by a continuous white line to the left) must yield to entering vehicles. When travelling at the legal speed limit, it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete a full circuit of the Périphérique. History In 1846, the French War Ministry completed the defensive Thiers wall around Paris, including fortifications, a dry moat, a ''Rue Militaire'' and a large berm. In 1859, the military engineering department gave conditional control of the perimeter to the precursor of the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Francilienne
The Francilienne () is a partially completed ring road in Île-de-France (the ''région'' that includes Paris), France, lying outside the A86. The planned ring road is approximately in diameter, similar in size to London's M25 motorway. Started in 1970, existing segments cover about two-thirds of the ring, under different names (A104, N104, N184). Construction of the western sections, which would complete the Francilienne, was projected in the late 2000s to take place between 2011 and 2015. All future construction is to be to motorway standard and designated as A104 only. However, in June 2013, the 'Mobilité 21' National Infrastructure Priority report pushed completion of the western section beyond 2021 and possibly 2030, relegating the Francilienne to a low-priority (second class) national infrastructure project (along with €80 billion worth of other road, rail, and river/port projects), behind €30 billion in high-priority (first class) projects likely to be the only one ...

A86 Autoroute
A86 (sometimes called "Paris super-périphérique") is the second ring road around Paris, France. It follows an irregular path around Paris with the distance from the city centre ( Notre Dame) varying in the range. The south-western section of A86 contains one of the world's longest urban motorway tunnels ( of continuous tunnel), opened in two parts in 2009 and 2011. The tunnel is limited to a height of and commercial vehicles are prohibited as a result. Although now a complete motorway-standard loop, the A86 is a product of its heavily urban route and piecemeal construction, meaning that there are several points at which one has to TOTSO (Turn Off To Stay On) and sections which are briefly parts of the A3 and A4 autoroutes. A86 is a part of the five-ring-road system surrounding Paris and Île-de-France: * Boulevard Périphérique, completed in 1973, roughly an ellipse and limits of Paris city. * A86, completed in 2011, irregular, , similar in size with London's North Circ ...

Périphérique (Caen)
The Boulevard périphérique de Caen is a ring road circling the French city of Caen. It is the route nationale 814. Traveling speed on the road is limited to 90 km/h (55 mph) between the Exit 13 and 8, with a brief portion near the Exit 1 as well as the Viaduc de Calix limited to 70 km/h (45 mph) and 110 km/h (70 mph) elsewhere.

Notable features include the Viaduc de Calix which spans the River Orne and Canal de Caen à la Mer. History The idea of creating an urban bypass boulevard dates back to 1931 with the ''Dauger'' urbanization plan. The plan was a question of improving traffic by organizing peripheral traffic by means of a boulevard connecting radial roads, so as to form a radioconcentric network. It was revived in the early 1970s with the urban development of the city. The ring road was opened in stages: * 13 Decem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boulevards Of The Marshals
The Boulevards of the Marshals (french: link=no, Boulevards des Maréchaux) are a collection of thoroughfares that encircle the city of Paris, France, just inside its city limits. Most bear the name of a marshal of the First French Empire (1804–1814) who served under Napoleon I. The Île-de-France tramway Lines 3a and 3b today run on the Boulevards of the Marshals. The demolition of the Thiers wall during the 1920s allowed for the creation of this ring of boulevards surrounding the city, using the land just inside the wall itself. Later, the Boulevard Périphérique, a short distance 'outboard' of the Boulevards of the Marshals, was built on the site of the Thiers wall itself, though it is more like a motorway than a wide boulevard. History The Boulevards of the Marshals occupy the route of the former ''Rue Militaire'', built and owned by the French military and running on the inside of the fortified Thiers wall, completed around 1840. In 1859, the military engineering servic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pont D'Aquitaine
The Pont d'Aquitaine is a large suspension bridge over the Garonne, north-west of the city of Bordeaux, in France. It forms part of the ring-road of Bordeaux and carries the A630 autoroute. It was completed in 1967 and its main span is long. The eastern and western aspects of the bridge are dramatically different. To the east there is a ridge of land which allows the roadway to enter the bridge with little or no slope. By contrast, to the west there is an area of flat land, forming part of the Medoc, which means the roadway across the bridge slopes dramatically upwards in order to gain sufficient height to enter the bridge. History The first bridge for the city of Bordeaux, the stone bridge, built by order of Napoleon, was completed in 1822. By the Second Empire, the bridge was already considered insufficient to allow the city to develop normally. From 1891, the studies multiplied leading in 1909, to the choice of a Transporter bridge whose construction was entrusted to the Cai ...
