inside lane

Track's innermost strip

The inside lane is the lane of a road or track closest to the center or edge, depending on context.

On a highway, it's typically the lane nearest the median—often the fast lane.

On a curved track, it's the lane closest to the interior, offering the shortest distance: She moved to the inside lane to pass.
