'''Outer Ring Road, Delhi''' is a [[ring road]] that encircles the city of [[Delhi]]. It has three lanes in each direction, with a total length of 47 km. Although it used to have [[traffic light]]s and [[At-grade intersection|at-grade]] [[Intersection (road)|intersections]], mushrooming [[interchange (road)|interchange]]s have reduced the number of lights to just two, and traffic now flows much more smoothly. Several Stretches of the Outer Ring Road have been notified as [[National Highway (India)|National Highway]]s.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kaushik|first1=Krishn|title=Highways and others: How India classifies roads, reclassifies them|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/explained/highways-and-others-how-india-classifies-roads-reclassifies-them-4602694/|access-date=26 April 2017|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=7 April 2017}}</ref>
