After having spent the last few weeks visiting large urban areas with underdeveloped road systems, we now head to Russia, to visit the mighty (infamous?) original beltway of Moscow, the MKAD (the Moscow Automobile Ring Road).
An interesting looking interchange can be found on the southern edge of the city:

The MKAD is a 109km beltway. Originally built in 1961 as a four-lane express road circling the administrative border of Moscow, it has in recent years been upgraded to a 10-lane urban beltway and is compared to the Capital Beltway (I-495) around Washington DC or the M25 around London.
