Well a series of boulders is a barrier to vehicles, but not even
noticeable to pedestrians.

Sure, like fences around golf driving ranges that protect people
outside from golf balls, but might have gaps.

Pretty similar - but poorly named for this instance. The barriers I'm
thinking of have to do with bicycles - they keep cars out of
pedestrian areas.

Incidentally, I notice that the definitions of "bicycle=yes",
"bicycle=no" on that page conflict with what has been said elsewhere
on this thread - they define practical access, not legal access.
