lysvejen

Lysvejen is a Danish toponym meaning "the road of light." It is used as a street name in several municipalities in Denmark. There is no single, widely recognized place called Lysvejen; instead, the term appears in multiple locations as a local street designation. The name combines lys, meaning light, and vej, meaning road, and is part of a broader tradition of Danish street naming that uses everyday nouns to describe routes or places of significance.

The exact origin of Lysvejen in a given locality can vary. In some cases the name may reflect historic street lighting, such as the installation of lamps along a route, or a symbolic sense of guiding travelers toward a town center or a landmark. In other cases it may simply be a conventional, aesthetically pleasing name chosen by planners or developers.

In daily use, Lysvejen typically denotes a smaller street, sometimes residential or industrial, rather than a major arterial road. The same toponym can appear in different towns, so when researching a specific Lysvejen it is important to consult the municipality, postal code, or official maps to identify its exact location and context.
