lane restriction

Closed driving path

Lane restriction refers to the temporary closure or limitation of one or more lanes on a road, typically due to construction, accidents, or maintenance work.

Traffic signs and signals alert drivers to merge or reduce speed: Expect delays—lane restriction ahead on I-95.

The term appears frequently in traffic reports and highway signage.
