excavation site [yellow] warning tape


Explanation:
here they call it excavation when the ground is dug up for pipe or cable laying work and the area is 'roped off' by the standard yellow tape with continuous 'no access beyond this point' print on it

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Steffen Walter: IMHO it's not about "roping/blocking off an area" but marking a cable route under ground as a safety precaution for future earthworks.
