height restrictions
Maximum tallness rules
Height restrictions are rules limiting how tall something can be, applied most commonly to buildings, structures, and—in amusement parks and transportation—to people.
Zoning laws impose height restrictions to preserve sightlines, protect historic districts, or maintain neighborhood character.
The height restrictions near the airport keep buildings under 200 feet.
Rides enforce minimum height restrictions for safety, ensuring passengers fit properly in restraints.
