Traffic load
Explanation:
Too simplistic? But with the following term, maybe the amount of traffic needs to be measured and restricted

Per Routledge:

Yes, this is one of the terms given. Here are the others:

Rolling load, travelling load, live load.

So I think we are talking about vehicular traffic.

agree  Steffen Walter: I think "Maßrestriktionen" just refers to restrictions existing in terms of the building's dimensions. So question is how to cope with traffic loads within given limitations (maybe dictated from external surroundings of actual construction site).
