The author’s model of classification of legal restrictions as means of regulation of public relations in the state depending on different social and legal criteria is presented.

Taking into account the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine, examples are given and the essence of concrete examples of application of legal restrictions to participants of public relations in typical life situations is revealed. It is noted that the legal design of legal restrictions in most cases is connected with the restriction of the rights and freedoms of a person, and therefore their further doctrinal development requires close attention of law researchers who are representatives of different areas of legal science.
