To clear up any confusion, the two parallel lines represent the runner’s lane. A batter-runner running outside that lane is liable to be called out for runner’s lane interference if he interferes with the fielder’s ability to the throw to first.

A runner that is running the entire distance outside of the running lane will not be protected if he interferes with a play at first base, EVEN IF it is in his last stride or step to the base. In order to be protected, this last step must be when he first exits the running lane.
