Choice point
决策点（choice point），指路径或环境中的某一位置（如路口、岔路），使用者必须在此做出方向/路径选择，是寻路设计与环境标识设计中的关键节点。
English Definition
"A location along a route or within an environment (e.g., an intersection or junction) where a navigator must make a decision about which direction or path to take."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
中文常译作'决策点'或'选择点'，文献中也常用 junction（岔路口）替代表述。在环境导向设计（wayfinding design）中，决策点是设置标识与导向信息的重点位置。
常见错误
- ·不要与 waypoint 混淆：choice point 强调'需要做出选择'的位置含义，waypoint 仅是路径上的标记点
- ·中文写作中不要笼统译作'关键位置'或'节点'，会丢失'决策'这一核心含义
