Best Answer

A lateral hazard is simply one where it runs alongside the hole of play, but does not actually cross it. It is also deemed by the committee of the competition/course or tournament that it is impossible/ impractical to drop behind the line of the hazard (which you would normally do with a normal water hazard).
