lanewide

Lanewide is a term used in various contexts, primarily relating to networks and traffic management. In the realm of computer networking, it refers to an operation or configuration that affects an entire network lane. A network lane can be thought of as a dedicated pathway for data transmission, often used to prioritize or isolate specific types of traffic. When an action is lanewide, it means it applies uniformly across all segments or components that constitute that particular lane. This can involve bandwidth allocation, quality of service (QoS) settings, or security policies.

In the context of transportation and traffic, "lanewide" describes something that spans or affects an entire traffic lane. This could refer to an object obstructing a lane, a decision affecting the usage of a lane, or a measurement taken across the full width of a lane. For example, a lanewide traffic control measure might involve closing or opening an entire lane for a specific period. Similarly, in automated driving systems, sensors might monitor for lanewide conditions such as the presence of debris or the behavior of other vehicles within a single lane. The concept emphasizes a uniform application or observation across the complete breadth of the designated lane.
