ingress

Primary tabs

Ingress means entrance, or the right to enter, or the act of entering. The word is often used together with egress in a combination “ingress and egress,” which means entering and leaving. 

Cases such as this one from Kansas, explain that an “ingress-and-egress easement is defined as the right to use land to enter and leave another's property.”
