If humans can travel in space fast enough one day through the Milky Way Galaxy, will there be areas that may be deemed "out of bounds" to human space craft?. Other than getting too close to stars etc

This depends on a number of things:
1. How big the Black Hole is ?
2. There is a point of no-return around the surface of every Black Hole. This a singularity point called it's Event Horizon. Beyond this point nothing can escape. The Black Hole has an immense gravitational pull in which not even light can escape.
3. Whatever enters travels towards the centre of the Black Hole and eventually gets crushed due to the enormously large mass of the Black Hole itself.

there is a point around a black hole known as the event horizon. Once you pass that point, the gravity becomes inescapable, even if you were traveling at the speed of light, because the gravity is so strong. The distance of the event horizon from the actual black hole varies, depending on the mass of the black hole. Because no light escapes the event horizon, you couldn't go past the point at which the absolute blackness began.

Like one guy said, it depends on how fast you're going (and in which direction). Plus, the area around a black hole has a lot of dust moving REALLY fast, it would sand-blast your spaceship to bits even if you didn't get sucked in. And the radiation would fry you.
Black holes come in different sizes, but I would say that a "typical" one is about 10,000 km across the event horizon. For this, I would guess that in order to be safe, you would have to be 4 or 5 billion kilometers away -- that's about the distance from our sun to Neptune.

You can get too close. But, it all depends on how fast you are going. If you are going very very fast you could slingshot around a black hole and not be sucked in.
But, if you go close enough to the center EVERYTHING gets sucked in no matter how fast it is going, including light itself.

It depends on the mass of the black hole (singularity). The more mass it contains, then larger the physical manifestations of the quantum event. As long as you are free of it's event horizon, then there isn't any problem.

it depends on other stars//gravity forces. But, it's been given a name...
the event horizon is the bounds between escaping and not.

We will use black holes to explore space.

Theoretically if it's sucking we are already being sucked in.

they are going to put stop signs and other regulatory signs up there
