While we're at it, you also sometimes find barriers on car park exits which have fierce, curved, spring-loaded spikes which are pushed into the ground if you drive over them in the intended direction, but which would rip your tyres to shreds if you attempted to go in against the flow. Like a fixed stinger. Any ideas for barrier=? I've found them referred to on manufacturer sites as 'alligator teeth' and 'traffic spikes'

That sounds like what they (apparently) have in the customs sheds in Dover harbour. There are signs warning of the "catsclaw" - red triangle, white background, with a group of black markings that remind me of sharks fins: slightly curvy triangles leaning to one side. I say apparently, as the signs have been there for years but I can recall actually seeing the devices in question.

So how about barrier=catsclaw? A quick google yielded this: http://www.catsclawinternational.com/
