This great poster of the Ring Rose of the World, I mean the Ring Roads of the World, was designed at the Rice School of Architecture in Houston. They collected ring roads from 27 international cities and layered them all at the same scale. As it turned out, Houston has the largest system of those surveyed (Beijing was second).
