Lane

Common transit route for spacecraft within planetary systems

A Lane, or space lane, is a regularly used transit route for spacecraft within planetary systems. They are most commonly used by commercial spacecraft carrying freight or passengers, along with military and other ships. With few exceptions, lanes are typically the shortest path between two points that can be safely navigated. Lanes are considered the safest areas for in-system travel because their more highly trafficked nature and higher rate of security patrol dissuades all but the boldest pirates.[1]
