accessway

Path to enter

An accessway is a route or passage providing entry to a place.

The term appears in legal, architectural, and planning contexts where precise terminology matters: The property includes an accessway to the beach.

It often describes paths that aren't full roads—walkways, corridors, or easements that allow people to reach somewhere.
