The directive, issued on Sunday, is the rearmost check on women's rights since the Islamist group seized power in August.
A maturity of secondary seminaries remain shut for girls, while utmost women have been banned from working.
Crusade group Human Rights Watch said the new restriction moved further towards making women captures.
Heather Barr, the group's associate director of women's rights, told AFP news agency the order"shuts off openings for ( women) to be suitable to move about freely"or"to be suitable to flee if they're facing violence in the home".
The rearmost directive, issued by the Taliban's Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, said women travelling for further than 45 country miles (72 km) should be accompanied by a close manly family member.
The document calls on vehicle possessors to refuse lifts to women not wearing Islamic head or face coverings, although it doesn't say which type of covering to use. Utmost Afghan women formerly wear headscarves.
It also bans the playing of music in vehicles."I felt really bad,"Fatima, a midwife who lives in Kabul, told the BBC, replying to the directive."I can not go out singly. What should I do if either I or my child is sick and my hubby isn't available?"
She added"The Taliban captured our happiness from us. I've lost both my independence and happiness."
Another Afghan woman told the BBC that, while the measure would help some women" feel at ease", a family companion was no guarantee against violence and importunity.
She appertained to an incident in Paghman in 2015 when four women were abducted from their family at gunpoint and latterly gang- ravished.
" (The Taliban) have to produce an terrain around the country in such a way that women feel safe,"she added.
Since taking power following the departure of US and confederated forces, the Taliban have told most womanish workers to stay at home while secondary seminaries are open only to boys and manly preceptors.
The Taliban say the restrictions are" temporary"and only in place to insure all workplaces and learning surroundings are" safe"for women and girls. During their former rule in the 1990s, women were barred from education and the plant.
Last month, the group banned women from appearing in TV dramatizations and ordered womanish intelligencers and presenters to wear headscarves on screen.
Donor nations have told the Taliban they must admire women's rights before fiscal aid is restored.
The country faces a deep philanthropic and profitable extremity made worse by the junking of transnational support after the group seized power.
