Administrasjonsvei

Administrasjonsvei is a Norwegian term that can refer either to a specific street name or to a class of road providing access to administrative buildings and facilities. Etymologically it combines administrasjon (administration) and vei (road), and it is used in both formal addresses and descriptive contexts within urban planning and facility management.

As a street name, Administrasjonsvei commonly appears in business parks, university campuses, hospital grounds and municipal complexes where buildings for administration, management or public services are concentrated. As a descriptive term, it denotes routes primarily intended for staff, service vehicles and official visitors rather than through traffic.

Typical characteristics of an administrasjonsvei include limited traffic volumes, provisions for parking and drop-off, pedestrian connections to nearby buildings, and signage indicating restricted or directed access. Design and maintenance responsibilities depend on local regulations and ownership; such roads may be public, municipally maintained, or privately owned and regulated by property managers.

In planning and policy contexts, administrasjonsveier are considered when organizing site layout, emergency access, logistics and security. They are mapped in address registries and appear in postal and navigation databases when used as formal addresses. The term also has informal usage to describe the function of a road within a compound or institutional setting.
