I would love to have this as a temporary 'band-aid' way to keep dwarves from even going into areas.  I was thinking it could be a simple 1-bit flag for each tile that is marked, and when any dwarf 'picks up' a new task from the jobs list, they first check if the tile that the job is in (source or destination ex.) is flagged with offlimits, if so marks the task suspended.  To keep them from route-finding through it, perhaps the tile could be flagged as a door that is marked forbidden.

Just an idea, Toady, but I think it would be a godsend to the players.

I second this! Perhaps you could even restrict it to certain classes or skill levels. But even just having the simple yes/no thing would be great for getting dwarves out of dangerous areas.

This idea has been floating around for a long time (since there would be many uses for it).  Now that I've cleaned up my pathfinding, I think I can combine this with weighting that have also come up in traffic discussions.  In that way, you can make dwarves more likely to use wide hallways, make them highly resistant to using other passages and forbid them from other areas entirely.
