within built-up areas
Within the boundaries of a built-up locality, such as a town or village. The term is used mainly in connection with traffic rules.
Innerorts gilt für Pkw eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 50 km/h, sofern nicht anders ausgeschildert.
Within built-up areas, a maximum speed of 50 km/h applies to passenger cars unless otherwise signposted.
The word is made up of three parts: the prefix 'inner-' (inside), the noun 'Ort' (place/locality), and the adverb ending '-s'. It therefore literally means 'inside a locality'.
Bitte fahren Sie innerorts vorsichtiger.
Please drive more carefully within built-up areas.
As an adverb, 'innerorts' can be placed flexibly in the sentence. If it stands at the beginning in position 1, the verb moves to position 2. However, it can also stand after the verb.

within / inside
'innerhalb' and 'innerorts' look similar, but they do not mean the same thing. You use 'innerhalb' when something is within the boundaries of a space, area, or also a period of time. It is normally followed by a genitive, for example 'innerhalb der Stadt' (within the city). 'innerorts' is a specific word for traffic and means: within a built-up area, so not outside built-up areas. The confusion comes from the beginning 'inner-'. If you generally mean 'within the boundaries of something', use 'innerhalb'. For traffic rules in a town or village, 'innerorts' fits.
Innerorts darf man hier nur fünfzig fahren.
Within built-up areas, you are only allowed to drive fifty here.
