[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How people don’t get which is the inner and which is the outer blows my mind. Makes me fear for the future if this country.[/quote]

If you are new to the area, it’s not exactly obvious !![/quote]

It's not obvious when you're driving if you're new to the area. It should be obvious when looking at a traditional map. [/quote]
You don’t need a map to understand the meanings of the words “inner” and “outer.” DC is not the only city with an inner loop and an outer loop. They mean the same thing in regards to all of the cities that have them.[/quote]

That's not true.  In Houston, there are two actual full beltways.

The inner loop is I-610 a full loop around the city and includes both directions and is closer to the city center (the blue loop).
The outer loop is Beltway 8 (TX-8), another full loop that includes both directions and is further out from the city (the red loop).

You write as though something I said is untrue, and yet, you just confirmed what I wrote. The inner loop is closer in; the outer loop is farther out. It doesn’t matter whether the loops contains traffic going in one direction or two directions. The “inner” and “outer” designations relate to which is closer to the city.[/quote]
