Which term denotes the portion of the exit that lies between the interior space and the exterior public way?

• A. Exit Access
• B. Exit
• C. Exit Discharge
• D. Common Path of Travel

Answer: (C)

The egress path is divided into three parts: exit access, the exit, and exit discharge. The term for the portion that lies between the interior space and the exterior public way is exit discharge. This segment begins at the last interior doorway that leads to the outside and continues to the exterior public area, such as a street or open space. Inside the building, the corridor or room leading to the door is exit access, and the protected path within the building to the outside is the exit. The common path of travel describes the portion of exit access shared by occupants before reaching an exit, not the exterior portion after leaving the building.
