tram lines

Grooved urban tracks

Tram lines are the metal rails embedded in streets that guide trams (streetcars).

In tennis and badminton, the tram lines are the parallel lines marking the boundaries for singles and doubles play—the narrow corridors between them are in bounds only for doubles.

British slang uses tram lines for any parallel marks: He had tram lines shaved into his eyebrows.
