Zones cannot be created, deleted, or modified by the operator.Restricted zones are marked with a "no entry" symbol at regular intervals along the edge of the zone. Speed limits, avoidance markers, and zone names are only displayed when zoomed in close enough to be relevant.A "zone incident" occurs when Terrain detects that one of the regions of the machine has crossed over the edge of a restricted zone. There are two levels of alarm.
