vehicle exit
A point where vehicles leave a structure to rejoin the street grid, if different from the vehicle entrance.
A vehicle exit is similar to a vehicle entrance, except that it only permits the egress of motorized road vehicles back into the surrounding road network. It is only used when the exit point is removed from the entrance point. If the exit is separate but beside the vehicle entrance, it is not counted separately.
The traffic direction is outward from the building toward the road network. The separate exit point must be removed from the entrance rather than simply occupying the adjacent lane.
A combined entry-and-exit location retains the vehicle entrance meaning. The separate exit identifies another point on the building's perimeter.
