Fyravägs

Fyravägs is a Swedish adjective used to describe something that has four ways or directions. The term is formed from fyra ("four") and väg ("way" or "path"), and it commonly appears in compound nouns across different disciplines.

In traffic and urban planning, fyravägs typically refers to intersections with four approach roads. The standard term for such a configuration is fyrvägskorsning, where traffic can enter or leave from all four directions.

Outside traffic, fyravägs appears in technical and architectural contexts to denote objects or systems with four ports or routes. For example, a device described as fyravägs in its specifications is understood to have four distinct connection points or pathways. The exact spelling and construction of compounds can vary by field and region, and in some contexts the words may be written as fyrvägs- as a prefix or combined as a single word.

Because Swedish employs agglutination, the precise meaning of fyravägs depends on the noun it modifies. In general usage, it signals a four-part or four-direction configuration rather than any universal standard.
