transitable
Able to traverse
Transitable describes a route, path, or area that can be traveled through or crossed.
The word appears in technical contexts—urban planning, transportation studies, geographic surveys—where it indicates passability: The mountain road remains transitable only in summer months.
In Spanish-speaking regions, the term is more common, sometimes appearing in English texts about Latin American infrastructure.
