danger areas
Places requiring caution
Danger areas are zones where hazards exist—places where entry or presence carries significant risk.
The term appears in military contexts for regions subject to artillery fire or bombing, in aviation for airspace with restricted access, and in everyday speech for any location best avoided: The flooded streets were marked as danger areas.
Figuratively, danger areas can be topics or situations prone to conflict: Politics and religion are danger areas at family dinners.
