Utfart

Utfart is a Swedish noun used to denote an exit from a road, a parking facility, or other premises. In everyday language and traffic planning, the term marks the point where vehicles leave a road, such as an off-ramp, a driveway, or a garage exit.

In practice, utfart appears on road signs and in traffic reports to indicate the direction or location of an exit. It is a common term in municipal planning, navigation contexts, and discussions of traffic flow, parking access, and urban design.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is formed from ut- meaning outward and fart meaning speed or movement in Swedish, but its function here is not related to the English word fart. The concept is strictly about an exit point rather than a rapid departure or flatulent sense.

Related terminology in Swedish traffic language includes infart, referring to an entrance or access point, and avfart, used for exit ramps in some contexts. The exact usage of utfart can vary regionally, but it consistently denotes an outward departure from a road or property.
