hospital zone

Care facility vicinity

A hospital zone is an area near a hospital where traffic regulations are stricter—typically reduced speed limits and restrictions on honking.

The designation protects patients and ensures emergency vehicle access.

Signs mark where the zone begins and ends: Slow down, you're in a hospital zone.
