: Aha, the safety in numbers. Most of those Russian-made business cards sound ridiculously awkward in English, so be careful here. I'd say entranceway.

Indeed, it seems that there is no work with the -ход route and that this word is used for both pedestrians and vehicles

мне вспомнилось stairwell еще со школы
хотя сам ниразу не использовал, что скажете по этому слову то?

: A подъезд can have/lead to more than 1 stairwell. Multiple подъезды can share the same stairwell.

I agree that in an address 'stairwell' is not the best word. Yet it does mean 'podyezd' in a sentence like this 'She was shot dead, aged 48, in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment block last October.' Or doesn't it?

Such a heated discussion!
People, if this is an address for the postman, then it is for a Russian postman, right?
Besides
"The Russian radio soap opera Dom 7, Podyezd 4 (House 7, Entrance 4) was also inspired by The Archers. Launched in 1993, it aimed to reflect the realities of life in postcommunist Russia, with storylines on everything from setting up a business to teenage pregnancy and drugs. Tony Blair once made a cameo appearance"

building entrance
In the US, in a multi-sectional apt. building, each section entrance usually has its own street address (and often is actually called "building").
In Russia, a similar building will have single street address, and each entrance "подъезд" will have it's own sequence number (1,2,3,...).

My answer aims to explain the exact meaning (such was my understanding of the question). If you're looking to write the address for delivery, then, in my opinion the best way is either (1) leave everything except the word "Russia" as is, in Cyrillic or (2) transliterate the same with English letters (as Valery's answer suggests).
