security barriers

Entry control structures

Security barriers are physical structures designed to control access, prevent intrusion, or protect against vehicle attacks.

They range from simple bollards and fences to reinforced concrete walls and retractable gates.

Security barriers surrounded the embassy compound.

The term also applies to checkpoints where documents are verified: We passed through several security barriers before reaching the terminal.
