Usage Note
Carril is the standard word for a traffic lane (carril bici = 'bike lane', carril bus = 'bus lane'). In railway contexts it means a rail of the track. On Spanish roads, carril lento and carril rápido indicate the slow and fast lanes — note that Spain uses right-hand traffic with overtaking on the left, as in most of continental Europe.
Examples
"El conductor cambió de carril sin señalizar."
Natural Translation
The driver changed lanes without signalling.
