Being a ring road, it has no natural start or end point, although the "0 km" mark is found near the northeastern stretch at Laiguangying, at the intersection with the Jingcheng Expressway.
All of Beijing's expressways, except for the Jingha Expressway, are interlinked with the 5th Ring Road.
By mid-2003, half of the ring road was open, from the western end connecting the West Chang'an Avenue to the interchange in the southeast with the Jingjintang Expressway.

 Britain.tv Wikipedia - Beijing
Formerly within the confines of the 2nd Ring Road and the 3rd Ring Road, the urban area of Beijing is now pushing at the limits of the recently-constructed 5th Ring Road and 6th Ring Road (currently under construction), with many areas that were formerly farmland now developed residential or commercial neighborhoods.
Tian'anmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) and Tian'anmen Square are at the centre of Beijing, and are directly to the south of the Forbidden City, former residence of the emperors of China.
Roads in Beijing often are in one of the four compass directions (unlike, for example, Tianjin).

The 4th ring road would be the edge of the city center; the 5th ring road would link the 10 scattered districts; and the 6th ring road was designed as the intercity highway to connect some of the 14 satellite towns.
When construction of the 5th and 6th ring roads started in 2000, however, development of land around the roads began immediately, spreading primarily from the central city.
Most of the public budget for infrastructure went into this road construction, and within three years the 4th and 5th and most of the 6th ring roads were completed.

The 4th Ring Road (Hanyu Pinyin: Si Huan Lu) is an express route ring road in Beijing, China which runs around the city approximately 8 kilometres from the centre of the city.

By Beijing's standard, 5th ring road is "uncrowded", but after it became free in 2005, I don't think it is anywhere close to an "underutilized" road.
Road is road, we human beings have been building them for thousands of years.
Quick accident response, broadcast of road conditions through dynamic signage, allow people to take alternate routes, counterflow highways, carpool lanes, reduced parking, encourage public transport, provide bike lanes, etc. are some of the things that are promoted over more new ring roads.

 Project Tacoma: Introduction to Gearing - 4x4 and Off-Road Differential Tech - Toyota at Off-Road.com
Power is transmitted from the transfer-case through the driveshaft to the ring and pinion (differential) gears.
As an example, a Tacoma with 4.10:1 gears and 31” tires driving at 65mph in 5th gear would turn an engine at about 2,400rpm, whereas more aggressive gearing (with the same size tires) would require the engine to run much closer to 3,000rpm at the same speed.
A gear-driven or torque-sensing differential is a gear-driven LSD that distributes power equally while still allowing for difference in wheel-speed, as long as both of the drive wheels have an equal amount of traction.

It also steepens the steering head from the Road Star's 32 degrees to 29 degrees and, in conjunction with the all-aluminum swingarm, it shaves 0.6 inches off the wheelbase as measured against the Road Star.
Unlike the Road Star, which just pulls back the spark when you hit the redline, the Warrior ends the party more gently in the first two gears (starting at 5700 rpm), using a combination of fuel injection and spark timing.
Fuel mileage wasn't as good as the Road Star's, though we don't know yet if that is caused by the engine or just the effect it has on throttle hands.
