The running lane was a good reference because it is 3 feet wide. The runner was running on the line and went outside the running lane to avoid the tag, thus he ran more than 3 feet from his baseline and should be out. Other than the running lane being 3 feet wide, and makes a good reference for far he went to dodge the tag it has no bearing in this play. Running lane violations are for throws from near home plate area. If a quality throw from the home plate area (ie catcher or pitcher on a bunt), and it hits the batter-runner while he is out of the running lane he is out for the interference.
