temporary barriers
Short-term crowd control
Temporary barriers are structures meant to block, redirect, or control access for a limited time.
They include traffic cones, construction fencing, crowd-control barricades, and jersey barriers at road work sites.
The term also applies figuratively to obstacles that can be overcome: These setbacks are temporary barriers, not permanent roadblocks.
