tramline
Urban rail path
Tramlines are the rails or tracks on which a tram runs, or the route itself: The new tramline connects the airport to the city center.
In tennis and badminton, the tramlines are the parallel lines marking the boundaries for singles and doubles play—the narrow strips between them are in bounds only for doubles.
