That's how I'd do it.  However, if there's no "back way" around the
road/fence crossing, I'd split the road way at the fence and tag the
inaccessible part with "access=no".  (Or, perhaps, "access=private" if
the entity who built the fence might occasionally grant itself
access.)

I think tagging "access=no" on the node should prevent most routing
applications from trying to route through it.
