reduced speed
Lowered travel pace
Reduced speed refers to a slower rate of movement than normal or expected, typically mandated by posted signs in construction zones, school areas, or hazardous conditions: Reduced speed ahead.
The phrase appears on traffic signage to warn drivers they must slow down.
It can also describe any deliberate slowing: The train operated at reduced speed due to track repairs.
