curfew laws
Mandatory evening deadlines
Curfew laws are regulations restricting people's movement during certain hours, typically at night.
Most commonly, they apply to minors—prohibiting teenagers from being in public places after a set time without adult supervision: The city's curfew law requires anyone under 18 to be home by 11 p.m.
Curfew laws may also be imposed broadly during emergencies, riots, or wartime, applying to entire populations in affected areas.
