"Walkway: A component of access on the way out that defines and establishes a route of access at the outset of trip."

My Spanish is a little rusty, but " walkway: Follow north and the component will allow free access!

gene and rjj: both pretty close. The phrase loses something in the translation from English to Spanish, and back from Spanish to English. It was actually the definition of an "Aisle."
