tunnel exit
Where daylight returns
The point where a tunnel opens to the outside, allowing passage out of the enclosed structure.
Tunnel exits are marked on highways to alert drivers they're about to emerge, often into different light conditions: Slow down approaching the tunnel exit.
Figuratively, reaching a tunnel exit suggests emerging from a difficult period—the light at the end of the tunnel.
