accessways

Ways to enter

Accessways are routes or passages that provide entry to a place.

The word appears most often in planning, architecture, and legal contexts: The building code requires two accessways for emergency egress.

An accessway might be a corridor, ramp, path, or any designated route connecting one area to another.
