slow zone
Reduced speed sector
A slow zone is a designated area where speed limits are reduced, typically for safety reasons—near schools, construction sites, or in neighborhoods with heavy pedestrian traffic.
Transit systems use the term for track sections where trains must reduce speed due to maintenance issues or infrastructure problems: Commuters faced delays because of a slow zone on the Red Line.
