ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Home zone

A home zone is like your own little kingdom or castle where you live. It's the area around your house where you can safely play, walk or bike without worrying about cars or other vehicles speeding by.

To make a home zone, the people in charge make some changes to the roads, sidewalks and other spaces around where you live. They might put up signs or markings that show drivers that they're entering a home zone. They might also slow down or limit the speed of cars in the area.

All of these changes are made to help keep you and your friends safe by making your home zone a place where you can play and have fun without worrying about getting hit by a car. It's like having your own special little neighborhood where you are the boss!
