Esimerkkitie

Esimerkkitie is a street in a Finnish city, serving as a connector between the central city area and a surrounding residential district. The street runs roughly north-south and intersects several minor avenues, with a total length typical of a city block corridor. It is primarily a residential-commercial street, with mid-rise apartment blocks, small shops, cafes, and services along its length. The northern portion is closer to the city center, while the southern end transitions into a quieter neighborhood with larger green spaces.

Esimerkkitie translates to "Example Road" in Finnish. It derives from a mid-20th-century urban planning phase when new housing areas used descriptive or demonstrative names to illustrate proposed street grids; the name has remained in use as standard practice continued. The street is maintained by the city's road administration and forms part of the municipal public transport network.

Public transport serves Esimerkkitie with regular bus stops along both sides. In recent decades, bicycle lanes and curb-separated sidewalks were introduced to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. There is a small park at the midpoint and a community center near the southern end, which hosts local events and activities.
