In automobile commuting, a far right lane or far left lane on a road that unexpectedly sends a driver into a direction away from his or her intended route. A driver is 'trapped' once he or she is unable to or fails to quickly make a lane change to re-enter the correct lane, thus continuing along the intended path and saving valuable time. Trap lanes are often responsible for sudden and unexpected lane changes that result in traffic accidents.
