passenger limit
Maximum allowed occupants
A passenger limit is the maximum number of people allowed in a vehicle, vessel, elevator, or other conveyance.
These limits are set for safety reasons—exceeding them risks structural failure, instability, or inadequate emergency equipment: The ferry's passenger limit is 200.
Signs typically post passenger limits in elevators and public transportation.
