Where "zone" is a known geographic area? A bounding way with tags like: zone = restriction maxspeed = 20kph parking = no seems like the best way to do it to me if you don't want to just replicate the tags on everything (and I can understand why you wouldn't want to do that). There's no software that'll pay attention to it atm, but then it's not long ago that everything ignored route relations too. I really wouldn't recommend relations for specifying what things are inside an area. It's a waste of two entire dimensions our dataset happens to have.
