yellow zone

Temporary parking strip

A yellow zone is an area of moderate caution or intermediate status between safe (green) and dangerous (red).

In traffic and parking contexts, yellow zones indicate restricted stopping—typically for loading only: The taxi pulled into the yellow zone to drop us off.

In sports and fitness, yellow zone often marks a moderate-intensity heart rate range.

The term appears in any system using color-coded risk levels, from air quality to security alerts.
