Except it's not a geographic area, but rather a set of streets with that restriction. If a bridge or tunnel without the restriction goes over/under a street with the restriction you'll have a problem. > I really wouldn't recommend relations for specifying what things are > inside an area.

So while it may work for many zonal restrictions to use an area (although even then there are still issues) you need another way as well due to the bridge/tunnel issue, and that other mehod can only be relations.
