There are some roads that form a large circle around a city, with connecting roads going north, south, east and west. If you are going west, you could go straight through the city center, or you can loop around it, and then connect on the other side. By taking this longer route, you are likely to avoid traffic, and get to your destination faster.

It could have several meanings depending on the context. For example:

You travel up to here and then loop around (turn around) and come back.

There's a loop around (turn around area) at this point where you can turn your car around and go back.

Loop around this hill (travel completely around the hill keeping to the base of it) and you'll come to a gate with a sign sayin
