Elzárások

Elzárások is a Hungarian term for closures, blockages, or shut-offs. It is the plural of elzárás and refers to the act of closing or obstructing access or flow. In everyday language it can denote blocking of access, cessation of flow in a system, or temporary shutdowns. The term is used across sectors such as transport, utilities, and healthcare.

In transport and public safety, elzárások include road or lane closures due to construction, accidents, weather, or events, as well as closures of public spaces, tunnels, or bridges. These are typically announced by authorities and accompanied by detours and signage.

In utilities, elzárások describe shut-offs of services such as water, gas, or electricity, often for maintenance, nonpayment, or safety reasons. Valve closures are technical examples, including automatic safety shutoffs.

In medical and biological contexts, elzárás can refer to obstruction or blockage of a duct, vessel, or airway; in such cases the term elzárások is used to describe multiple obstructive events or pathologies.

In engineering and industry, elzárások may be used to describe the operation of shut-off devices, such as valves or dampers, that intentionally stop flow for safety or process control.

Differences with related terms: lezárás is often used for general closures, including permanent or scheduled closures of roads, areas, or facilities, whereas elzárás emphasizes the act of closing off or stopping flow or access and can have a more technical connotation.
