inbound
Headed this way
Inbound describes movement toward a center, destination, or point of reference.
An inbound flight is arriving rather than departing.
Inbound traffic flows toward the city center.
In business jargon, inbound marketing attracts customers who come to you, as opposed to outbound efforts that reach out to them.
The inbound lane was backed up for miles.
