Covenrty was rebuilt a bit hurriedly in the 1950s and 1960s after the Luftwaffe bombed the crap out of it and the inner ring road is a bit “of its time”. Wikipedia says the road has “a reputation for being difficult to navigate”.
Im from Cov originally. I personally have no problems with the ring road. Anyone from outside Cov is usually WTF when they see how you have to merge with the traffic on or off at every slip road!!

Aye, it does seem to fox non locals somewhat. Beduth myself originally. So I spent many years driving in and out of Cov and round the ring road.
Nothing wrong with the Ring Rd, the only problem is drivers don`t realise the entrance and exits are short distances apart. Its down to speed people being in to much of a hurry to follow direction and road signs and lane markings properly.
