They also appear to have chosen to use riot fencing that is designed to coercively maximize the difficulty of traversal. They could have chosen fencing for which traversal would require intent, but ultimately allow it.

That's pretty standard construction site fencing which is used in a lot of countries.

The fence would probably also be pretty ineffective as "riot fencing" since it is really high and has a small foot. Meaning it is unstable and easy to push over. Even when the fences are chained that will still be a problem.
