Moscow road system consists of concentric circles and radial highways (like spokes in a wheel). First circle - Mokhovaya street/Kremlin embankment goes around very center: Kremlin, Red Square, Manezh Square, "Moscow" hotel etc. Then goes Boulevard Ring, Garden Ring, Third Ring, MKAD (Московская кольцевая автомобильная дорога), Small "Concrete" ring and Big "Concrete" ring (the last two are outside of the city, I live near the Small one). There is also railroad circle called "Окружная железная дорога" and a circle metro line in Moscow. Several years ago there was a project to build Fourth Ring between the Third Ring and MKAD but they cancelled it because it was too expensive (more than a billion USD for 1 kilometer). I think Moscow is the most "ringed" city in the world. That's why Moscow mayor often jokingly called "Lord of The Rings".
