0 a main road that goes around the edge of a town, allowing traffic to avoid the town centre --
1 a main road that goes around the edge of a city --
A projected outer beltway that should bypass the city and relieve the current beltway from its heavy cargo traffic.
At its completion, the beltway could be used along its entire length.
Major sections of the beltway were completed in 2001 with the last two major junctions finished in 2008.
Bakersfield also identified a network of beltways, which would route traffic around the outer parts of town.
A bypass or beltway is never considered a true spur route as it typically reconnects with another or the same major road.
It has a semi-circular length centered around the city, running as a long-length beltway.
It was constructed as a motorway and compared to the beltways, has been much better suited to heavy traffic.
Work on the western and southern portions of the beltway, if paid for by state funds, would possibly not open until 2030.
