A passageway is a path or route through a building, structure, or natural environment that connects two points. It can be an indoor hallway, outdoor walkway, alley, corridor, tunnel, or any other type of thoroughfare designed to facilitate movement from one place to another. Passageways are often used as means of access and egress in buildings such as homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and stores. They can also be found in public spaces like parks, streets, and sidewalks, or within natural environments such as forests, mountains, and caves. The term passageway is often used interchangeably with terms such as "corridor," "hallway," or "thoroughfare" to describe the physical space itself, while "passage" may refer more broadly to any route taken between two points.
