A legal restriction refers to a limitation imposed by law or a regulation which restricts certain activities or behaviors. These restrictions are put in place to ensure public safety, maintain order, and protect rights.

They are enforced by governmental agencies and can result in penalties, fines, or other legal consequences if violated.
