A dumbbell interchange along Ontario Highway 401 in Clarington, Ontario, Canada.This one features a loop ramp. The ramp intersections may also be configured as a pair of roundabouts [1] to create a type of diamond interchange often called a dumbbell interchange [citation needed] (due to its aerial resemblance to a dumbbell), and sometimes called a double roundabout interchange.
