Why? The government already controls city layout. If they don’t want you to go somewhere, just don’t build a road there at all. If they don’t want you going there sometimes, use tire spikes.

It doesn't have to be an outright prohibition. The power of a gentle "recommendation" is enough.

City layout can gently recommend things just as easily as it can force something. Allowing roads to fall into disrepair, not mentioning stuff on maps, putting stuff you want people to see nearby stuff that people have to go to.
