Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'an official limit on travelling' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'travel' (journeying) with 'restriction' (a limit or control). This simple noun+noun composition follows regular, cross-linguistically common patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase travel restriction comes from a simple image of a guard or sign stopping people on the road. The word travel means moving and restriction means a rule or barrier that stops movement, so the phrase means 'an official limit on moving between places'.
