movement restrictions
Controls on travel
Movement restrictions are limitations on where people can go or travel.
Governments impose movement restrictions during emergencies, pandemics, or conflicts: Movement restrictions kept residents within city limits.
The term also applies to medical contexts where injury limits physical mobility, or to legal constraints like house arrest or restraining orders that confine someone to specific areas.
