The Boulevard périphérique de Lyon is a ring road that surrounds Lyon from the northwest (Porte de Valvert, in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune) to the south (Porte de Gerland, in the 7th arrondissement) by making a loop to the east. It has sixteen exits called "gates", and includes a toll portion, between the Porte de Vaise (or the Porte de Rochecardon coming from the east) and the Porte de Saint-Clair (part including the large Caluire Tunnel).
