caution tape
Yellow boundary strip
Caution tape is bright yellow plastic ribbon printed with warnings—typically "CAUTION" or "DO NOT CROSS"—used to mark off hazardous areas or crime scenes.
It stretches between posts or anchors to create a visible barrier: Police strung caution tape around the building.
The yellow-and-black pattern has become iconic shorthand for danger or restricted access.
