Usage Note

Restringimento is the noun of restringere (to narrow, to tighten). It is used literally for a physical narrowing — a road narrows (restringimento della carreggiata) or an artery constricts (restringimento arterioso) — and figuratively for a reduction in freedoms or options. Road signs often display it as a warning.
