===Canada=== [[File:AnthonyHendayDrive.JPG|thumb|The Anthony Henday Drive ring road in Edmonton]] [[Edmonton]], Alberta, has two ring roads. The first is a loose conglomeration of four major [[arterial roads]] with an average distance of {{convert|6|km|mi}} from the downtown core. [[Yellowhead Trail]] forms the northern section, [[Wayne Gretzky Drive]]/75 Street forms the eastern section, [[Whitemud Drive]] forms the southern and longest section, and [[170 Street, Edmonton|170 Street]] forms the western and shortest section. Whitemud Drive is the only section that is a true [[controlled-access highway]], while Yellowhead Trail and Wayne Gretzky Drive have interchanges and intersections and are therefore both [[limited-access road]]s. Yellowhead Trail is currently being upgraded to full freeway standards. 170 Street and 75 Street are merely large arterial roads with intersections only.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.connect2edmonton.ca/forum/showthread.php?t%3D7701 |title=Inner Ring Road|website=Connect2Edmonton |access-date=12 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714221019/http://www.connect2edmonton.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=7701 |archive-date=14 July 2014 }}</ref> The second and more prominent ring road is named [[Anthony Henday Drive]]; it circles the city at an average distance of {{convert|12|km}} from the downtown core. It is a freeway for its entire {{convert|78|km|mi|adj=on}} length, and was built to reduce inner-city traffic congestion, created a bypass of Yellowhead Trail, and has improved the movement of goods and services across Edmonton and the surrounding areas. It was completed in October 2016 as the first free-flowing orbital road in Canada.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.northeastanthonyhenday.com/|title=Northeast Anthony Henday Drive|website=www.northeastanthonyhenday.com|access-date=15 September 2016|archive-date=31 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731232507/http://www.northeastanthonyhenday.com/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=NEdone>{{cite web|url=http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/3787.htm|title=Northeast Anthony Henday Drive|publisher=Alberta Transportation|date=2016|access-date=2 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012233926/http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/3787.htm |quote=The northeast leg of Anthony Henday Drive opened on October 1, 2016, after five years of construction...|archive-date=12 October 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Stoney Trail]] is a ring road that circles the city of [[Calgary]], Alberta, for an entire length of {{convert|101|km|mi|adj=on}}.<ref>{{Google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/50.8925504,-114.0541641/51.0883919,-114.232038/@51.0076755,-114.3541968,9.83z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-113.914815!2d51.1754976!3s0x5371618c25df390f:0xac8b1918bd6bf97c!1m0!3e0|title=Length of Stoney Trail|access-date=1 December 2016}}</ref> [[Winnipeg]], Manitoba, has a ring road which is called the [[Perimeter Highway]]. It is designated as [[Manitoba Highway 101]] on the north, northwest and east sides and as [[Manitoba Highway 100]] on the south and southwest sides. The majority of it is a four-lane divided [[Limited-access road|expressway]]. It has a second ring road, planned since the 1950s and not yet completed, called the Suburban Beltway. It consists of several roads—[[Lagimodière Boulevard]], [[Winnipeg Route 165|Abinojii Mikanah]], the Fort Garry Bridge, the Moray Bridge, [[Winnipeg Route 96|William R Clement Parkway]], [[Winnipeg Route 17|Chief Peguis Trail]] and the [[Kildonan Bridge]]. [[Saskatoon]], Saskatchewan, has a ring road named Circle Drive. It is cosigned as [[Saskatchewan Highway 16]] and [[Saskatchewan Highway 11]] along the whole route since the 2013 opening of Circle Drive South. [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]], Saskatchewan has a partial ring road that is named [[Ring Road (Regina, Saskatchewan)|Ring Road]]; however, due to the city's urban growth since the road was originally constructed, it no longer functions as a true ring road and has instead come to be used partially for local arterial traffic. The [[Regina Bypass]], a new partial ring road, has replaced it, although Ring Road must still be used in the northeast quadrant of the city. [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]], Ontario, has the [[Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway]], [[Ontario Highway 403|Highway 403]] and the [[Red Hill Valley Parkway]] which form a ring on three sides. [[Greater Sudbury|Sudbury]], Ontario, has a partial ring road consisting of the [[Southwest and Southeast Bypasses]] segment of [[Ontario Highway 17|Highway 17]], and the Northwest Bypass segment of [[Ontario Highway 144|Highway 144]]. An unofficial northeast "bypass" route can also be completed on city arterial roads that largely bypass the urban core of the city, but are not fully controlled-access and must be shared with local traffic in the [[Nickel Centre]] and [[Rayside-Balfour]] districts of the city.
