access ramp

Wheelchair-friendly entrance path

An access ramp is an inclined surface that provides passage between different levels, especially one designed to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, or wheeled equipment.

Access ramps appear at building entrances, curbs, and transit stations as alternatives to stairs: The courthouse finally installed an access ramp.

Highway access ramps—on-ramps and off-ramps—connect local roads to freeways.
