safety perimeter
Protective distance marker
A safety perimeter is a boundary established around a dangerous area to keep people at a safe distance.
Police set up safety perimeters around crime scenes, bomb threats, or accident sites.
The term implies official enforcement—crossing a safety perimeter typically means defying authorities: Officers pushed the crowd back beyond the safety perimeter.
