security corridor
Guarded transit zone
A security corridor is a protected route through dangerous or contested territory, typically established by military forces or authorities to allow safe passage.
Refugees flee through security corridors during conflicts; aid convoys travel them to reach besieged areas.
The term implies armed enforcement of the corridor's boundaries: UN forces established a security corridor to evacuate civilians from the combat zone.
