traversable

Able to navigate

Traversable describes something that can be crossed, traveled through, or passed over.

A traversable path allows passage; a traversable terrain presents no impassable obstacles.

In computing, traversable refers to data structures that can be iterated through systematically: The algorithm requires a traversable graph.
