My point about the by-pass not being done; when you head east on Victoria from the Ring Road you still have several lights to contend with. I did see signs talking about a by-pass for that area now that it is being built up. Depending on the time of day you are going through, it can take up to 30 minutes to cross Regina; with a good chunk of that being that portion east of the Ring Road.
In fact Regina is a great example of a ring road that was never really completed; and the parts that were completed were not done well. I would suggest that Regina should be an example of what not to do.

Well, it goes to Leewan Dr on the west side of the city and there is nothing past that...it is the end of the city. So yeah, maybe Leewan Dr is not actually "the" ring road but it serves its purpose for the time being for a city the size of Regina.
And yes, there are parts that are not done well....mainly their exits, especially driving west on the north side of Regina, where you cross Albert St (also known as #6 highway).
Basically, there is no merge lane...an accident waiting to happen if you want to exit north, that is for sure.
