Suggestion scope
Survivors, Barricades
Suggestion description
The ability to barricade the sides (North, East, West, South) to create walled off sections of the city would allow for survivor colonies, unrestricted by free running.
This would allow for the advantages of the malls (safe access to the facilities within that area) while maintaining the risks of a fortified mall, that being that any breach in the walls would allow zombies into the area.
The result would be the possibility of barricading off a section or even a whole suburb to create a safe haven for survivors, with the trade off being that larger areas would result in a larger perimeter to patrol and maintain.

Technical Suggestion
(For coders)
One way I can imagine this being possible would be an array of 4 tiny-ints [N,E,W,S] in the database entries, corresponding to existing barricade levels.
So for example [0,0,0,21] would result in "The streets to the South have been extremely heavily barricaded" This is merely a suggestion and there's probably a more efficient way of implementing it.
