crossing point
Where paths intersect
A crossing point is a designated location where people or vehicles may pass from one side to another—across a border, barrier, or boundary.
The term appears most often in contexts involving international borders or military lines: The checkpoint was the only legal crossing point between the two countries.
It can also refer to places where roads, rivers, or other obstacles may be traversed safely.
