On the streets a zone is a variable-sized area edged by building walls and pedestrian crossings.

From the [Zombicide rulebook](https://zombicide.com/dl/rulebook-zombicide-season-1.pdf) (page 5):

> Inside a building, a Zone is a room.

> or even four tiles.

For example, in the following image, the red boxes identify the different zones of the map:
