Kihajtóút

Kihajtóút is a Hungarian term that translates to "exit ramp" or "off-ramp" in English. It refers to a road or lane that branches off from a main road, typically a highway or motorway, to allow vehicles to leave the main carriageway and proceed to a different destination, such as a local road, a town, or a service area. These ramps are essential components of modern road infrastructure, facilitating the safe and efficient movement of traffic by separating departing vehicles from through traffic.

Kihajtóút design varies depending on factors like traffic volume, speed limits, and the complexity of the interchange. They can range from simple straight sections to more intricate curves that gradually decrease in speed. The transition from the main road to the exit ramp is usually marked by clear signage indicating destinations and distances. Proper use of exit ramps is crucial for road safety, requiring drivers to signal their intention to exit, reduce speed appropriately, and be aware of other vehicles. The concept of a kihajtóút is fundamental to highway systems worldwide, enabling a structured and organized flow of traffic.
