occupancy limits
Room capacity restrictions
Occupancy limits are restrictions on how many people may be present in a space at one time.
Buildings post occupancy limits for fire safety—crowded rooms become death traps when exits can't handle the crush.
Venues also enforce limits for comfort, noise control, or licensing requirements: The bar's occupancy limit is 150 persons.
