The importance of 'Ring Road' for New Delhi:
- a.it avoids the main city crossings
- b.heavy vehicles can avoid city centre
- c.Both (A) and (B)
- d.None of the above
Answer: (C) Both (A) and (B)
A ring road is a circular road around a city: through traffic can go round instead of passing the central crossings, and heavy goods vehicles can be kept out of the city centre, so both statements are true. Delhi has the Inner Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, and the Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways now divert traffic not bound for the city.
