red zones
High-danger territories marked
Red zones are areas designated as dangerous, restricted, or off-limits.
The term appears in military contexts for hostile territory, in urban planning for high-crime areas, and in sports for the area near the goal line.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, red zones indicated regions with high infection rates requiring strict restrictions.
The neighborhood was classified as a red zone after the flooding.
