barrier tape
Yellow warning strip
Barrier tape is brightly colored plastic tape used to cordon off areas and warn people away.
Yellow tape typically marks construction zones or hazards; the phrase crime scene tape refers to the yellow-and-black variety police stretch around areas under investigation.
The tape itself offers no physical barrier—it signals that crossing is prohibited or inadvisable.
