Sorry, there is no full sentence. It is a location:
LINGKARAN DALAM KAWASAN (Name of the town). The article is about the roadwork that is scheduled to be done.
My question is: What exactly is LINGKARAN? It's not a roundabout, is it?
Thanks

Comment: "Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I wish Proz would allow me to reward points to multiple aswerer, because I also like Yam2u answer! But since in Malaysia, people are more familiar with Ring road, I'll go with Jo's answer. Yes, it is about road, a list of roads to be upgraded."

i think it refers to the actual area being marked/cleared for the roadway. or beltway, as it's called in the US or "ring road" (per jo bennet) if asker prefers the british term instead.

the location(s) surrounding the area of XXX
If the context is similar to the following (from a web page):-
"Terletak pada lokasi lingkaran dalam kawasan Grande Family Estate" which would be "Situated in the location(s) surrounding the area of XXX".
It is always best to give a full sentence (or more) as the context if possible.
