ühesuunalisest

Ühesuunalisest is an Estonian adjective meaning "unidirectional" or "one-way". It is derived from the words "üks" (one), "suund" (direction), and the possessive suffix "-line". The term is frequently used in various contexts to describe things that operate or move in a single direction.

In traffic and transportation, ühesuunalisest refers to roads or lanes where vehicles are permitted to travel only in one designated direction. This is often indicated by signage and is a common safety measure in urban planning. Similarly, it can describe a one-way valve, which allows fluid or gas to flow in only one direction.

In broader applications, ühesuunalisest can describe communication that is not interactive, where information flows from a sender to a receiver without feedback. This could apply to broadcasts or certain types of lectures. The concept also extends to processes or systems that exhibit a singular flow, such as a conveyor belt or a data stream. The opposite of ühesuunalisest would be kahesuunalisest, meaning bidirectional.
