exit lane

Highway departure route

An exit lane is a lane of traffic that leads off a highway or main road, typically marked for vehicles preparing to leave the roadway.

The term applies to highway off-ramps and also to designated lanes in parking structures or drive-throughs: Stay in the exit lane if you're getting off at the next ramp.
