Access and egress

Access and egress

Access and egress means the rate or means of entry or exit to an urban object, such as a transport mode or building. It includes footpaths, corridors, doorways, gates, steps etc., which may provide a means of access and egress, to be suitably constructed, kept free from obstruction and to be well maintained.

Obstruction of an access or egress point impacts the flow of people or vehicles towards the desired location. This can have economic impact or social impact.
