lane departure

Crossing road markings

Lane departure is when a vehicle drifts out of its lane without signaling, typically due to driver inattention or drowsiness.

The term appears most often in automotive safety contexts: lane departure warning systems alert drivers, while lane departure prevention systems actively steer the vehicle back.

The truck's lane departure alarm woke him up just in time.
