crowd control barrier

Portable metal fence

A crowd control barrier is a portable fence or railing used to manage the flow of people at events, construction sites, or public spaces.

The interlocking metal barriers—sometimes called barricades or stanchions—create orderly lines, block access to restricted areas, or separate groups: Police set up crowd control barriers along the parade route.
