on-ramps
Highway entry points
On-ramps are the sloping roads that allow vehicles to enter a highway or freeway, merging with traffic already in motion: Traffic backed up at the on-ramp during rush hour.
Figuratively, on-ramps are entry points or pathways into something—a career, a skill, a community: The internship serves as an on-ramp to the industry.
The singular is on-ramp.
