Limited access describes roads or areas with restricted entry and exit points.
A limited-access highway (freeway, interstate) allows traffic to enter only at designated ramps, with no cross streets or driveways interrupting flow.
The term also applies to restricted areas requiring credentials: The server room has limited access.
In digital contexts, limited access means reduced permissions or partial availability.
