highway exit

Interstate departure point

A highway exit is a ramp or interchange where vehicles leave a major road.

Exits are typically numbered and signed with destinations: Take exit 42 for downtown, We missed our exit.

The term applies to both the physical roadway and the act of leaving: The exit comes up fast after the bridge.
