street closure

No through traffic

A street closure is the temporary or permanent blocking of a road to vehicle traffic.

Cities announce closures for construction, parades, festivals, or emergencies: Check for street closures before driving downtown.

The closure may be partial, restricting certain lanes, or complete, barring all vehicles from the area.
