...you forgot the M25.
The worlds worst, most irritating and pointless loop - ever.

Oh, did I ? Sorry for my ignorance
But indeed, this is a loop which stands out from the examples in different aspects, as it is a single loop which catches hundreds or thousands of people simultaneously, and it does have a physical appearance which clearly shows its real character.
Hmm, aren't there exit points available, or are these only entry points into some sub-level loops? I'm going to assume the latter.
Summing up, this one is going to score: 1 point for lack of exits, 1 point for purpose, definitely 1 point for lack of hope (assuming that the loop is effective 24 hours a day, and postponing is not an option), 1 bonus point for public services behind the scene, and yet another bonus for its efficiency, catching 1000s of people at once. Makes a total of 5 points on the now open-ended Bossel Scale of Loopivity!
M25 and all that..

It is a motorway that surrounds London. It does have both entry and exit points but just you try using them at 5.30 pm on a Friday afternoon !!
Forget it !!
M25 and all that..

That's what I was talking of as well, and having read the entry, I got the impression that it's a really hideous one!
