Thus, driving should be restricted to only a few segments along a beach or to portions of the beach between wrack lines and away from incipient dunes; shore-perpendicular access could be restricted to a few prescribed crossings (Nordstrom 2003; Priskin 2003). There is little reason to allow private vehicles on beaches in developed municipalities when road networks exist landward and where undeveloped enclaves are so small that beaches can be reached on foot. Even if private vehicle use is prevented, municipal vehicles used for patrolling the beach and for emptying trash receptacles may remain a problem.

Interference with movement of fauna can also be reduced by employing fences in configurations that create cross-shore corridors, either by leaving short gaps in longer sections of fence or deploying fences as short sections oriented transverse to shore and to prevailing winds. Sand-trapping fences are often used to control visitor traffic, resulting in dunes with unnatural shapes. Symbolic fences may be used instead of sand-trapping fences for controlling pedestrian access. Symbolic fences prevent users from trampling the dune while allowing the sand blown landward to build up dune height and volume.
