drop-off zones

Passenger discharge spots

Drop-off zones are designated areas where vehicles can briefly stop to let passengers out.

Schools, airports, and hotels typically have marked drop-off zones near entrances: The drop-off zone was chaos during morning rush.

The term implies no parking—you unload and move on.

Pick-up zones serve the opposite function.
