lane
Swimmer's designated path
A lane is a narrow path or passageway.
On roads, lanes are parallel strips of traffic moving in one direction: Stay in your lane, the left lane is for passing.
Swimming pools and bowling alleys have lanes too.
In computing and gaming, stay in your lane has become advice to mind your own business or stick to what you know.
