 - **Stop model**: Define a zone and a point threshold. If ``min_points`` or more obstacle points appear inside this area, stop the robot until the obstacles will disappear.
 - **Slowdown model**: Define a zone around the robot and slow the maximum speed for a ``slowdown_ratio``, if ``min_points`` or more points will appear inside the area.
+- **Limit model**: Define a zone around the robot and restricts the maximum linear and angular velocities to ``linear_limit`` and ``angular_limit`` values accordingly, if ``min_points`` or more points will appear inside the area.
 - **Approach model**: Using the current robot speed, estimate the time to collision to sensor data. If the time is less than ``time_before_collision`` seconds (0.5, 2, 5, etc...), the robot will slow such that it is now at least ``time_before_collision`` seconds to collision. The effect here would be to keep the robot always ``time_before_collision`` seconds from any collision.

 `PR #3513 <https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2/pull/3513>`_ renames ``max_points`` parameter to ``min_points`` and changes its meaning. Formerly ``max_points`` meant the maximum number of points inside the area still not triggering the action, while ``min_points`` - is a minimal number of points starting from the action to be initiated. In other words ``min_points`` now should be adjusted as ``max_points + 1``.
