Beijing's new 900km (560-mile) Seventh Ring Road

Parts of Beijing's new 900km (560-mile) Seventh Ring Road are 175km from the city’s centre. It has yet to be completed but another, even longer, orbital is being plotted. The aim of the ring and radial system was to provide speedy road access in and out of town, bypassing city traffic and linking satellite towns. Not a bad idea, except that workplaces have remained concentrated in the centre. The expressways funnel traffic into gridlock. http://econ.st/1DgI0na
