message: This road is called الطريق الدائري ('the ring road' - not 'ring road') only by residents of Cairo. This is normal. It happens in almost every city with a ring road. It does not imply the road is called 'ring road'. In Alexandria 'the ring road' means Alexandria's half-circular bypass freeway. --عبد المؤمن (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest this page be moved to 'Cairo Ring Road' --عبد المؤمن (talk) 16:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not 'Cairo ring road'?  It's not a name, as you note (though a part of it has the name Ring Road, and another part Circular Road, and another part something else, according to maps I have examined to try to figure this out.  Dicklyon (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Dicklyon, please, don't rehash the same arguments again. The sources talk about a road called "Ring Road", which covers only 3/4 of the circumference of Cairo. I'll refresh your memory: I created a separate article about the "ring road" in general, and you asked for deletion as a duplicate in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ring_road_(Cairo). The encyclopedic topic is the specific "Ring Road". There are three generic "ring roads" around Cairo, someone suggested at the AfD that Ring roads of Cairo might be a feasible topic for a separate article. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: But the old problem remains:  the article is very confused about whether it's about the ring road, or about the portion of it named Ring Road.  I am not aware of any other ring roads around Cairo, but will be happy to know your sources on that.  Dicklyon (talk) 19:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I have to rectify myself again, there are two proposed ring roads for Cairo, apart from the existing one, it's already cited in the article. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, just one Cairo ring road so far, but more planned.  I agree.  Dicklyon (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

text:  Yes - there is a 'regional ring road' much further out currently U/C. The current freeway is an incomplete ring road - no other road is considered a circular for Cairo (though there are other freeways in the west of the urban area, in Giza and 6th October). The second ring road (U/C) passes round the outside of New Cairo and Helwan. --عبد المؤمن (talk) 15:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're in Cairo, or know people who can find out, it would be good to understand the road names better.  Google maps shows Ring Road splitting, on the south side, and going different ways.  The way that's part of the ring road used to be titled Circular Road on the map, but now is also called Ring Road.  Another part on the south had a different name, and I found it in instructions about what roads to follow to get from the airport to various hotels, where the route along the ring road was described in terms of the names of the different parts.  Here's one from a google snippet just now: "Directions To The Property leave Cairo International Airport On The Airstrip To The ring Road. Keep Left To Get Onto The Ring Road Until Circular Road. Follow This Road Until Mehwar El Moneeb. ..."  If it can be clarified how these names relate, that would be useful.  Another says "Take the exit from Cornish al Nile to the Ring road – Mehwar El Moneeb," suggesting that the road name Mehwar El Moneeb is the ring road, or at least part of it.  Or is it just a translation of "ring road"?  Dicklyon (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
