Ideally, the center of the carriageway (the middle of the paved area). In practice, on a 2-lane Interstate the right lane is essentially in the middle once you factor in the shoulder, while on 3+ lane highways it will be around the middle lane (where modern standards call for equal shoulders on both sides of the carriageway).
