Hi Casey, yes, I see what you mean. I searched around a bit, but couldn't see any established translation (using triple, tri- or three, for example...). Perhaps there's not yet a teiyaku because the work hasn't yet been completed?

Note from asker:
| Thank you for that link, Kathy. 外環 is one of them. So I guess they use "ring road" as the translation. Shouldn't 3環状道路 be "the 3 ring roads" or something like that, though? |
| Yeah, you're probably right. |

No. 3 Ring Road
The Ministry of Transport seems to prefer this term. Personally, if I had the option I'd go with a variant of "beltway" (aside from the Washington D.C. precedent, my old hometown of Cleveland has "the Inner Belt") or "circular road" if you're thinking of British precedents. But I don't have the option <g>.

Just saw your follow up note to Rie, in which case--and with the second URL I cited in mind--that should just be "three ring roads" (or "3 ring roads, as the case may be").
