lähikaistalla

Lähikaistalla is a Finnish term that translates to "in the adjacent lane" or "in the next lane." It is commonly used in traffic contexts to describe a vehicle's position relative to another. For instance, if a driver intends to change lanes, they might check their "lähikaistalla" to see if there is any traffic in the adjacent lane. The term is also used to denote proximity, such as a shop being "lähikaistalla" which would imply it is in the immediate vicinity or next to the current location. In a broader sense, "lähikaistalla" can refer to something that is close by or readily accessible.
