I think culdesac neighborhoods are a good idea. One way in and out, with the potential to post a guard and use permits on cars and so on as the situtation gets worse.
Garbage cans full of water also make great instant barricades. Five or six across the street, fill them with water from a hose if it is still on or out of the pond if it is off. Rope the handles together and they will stop anything short of a deuce and a half.
Sure they bad guys can just dump them over, but they have to get out and do that. That gives you a chance to see who they are and if they belong in the area. And of course the rule that any obstacle not covered by direct fire is useless is a given.
You need to have two plans. Bug out AND fort up. Now sure one is probably much more likely than the other to be used, but you need to cover the other contingency. You plan is to flee the city, what if the riot gets between you and the exit. What if the country folks blow the road bridges as a way of saying do not enter. Or if you are in the country what if yours is the one area where the Kenyan Dictator decides to make an example in the way of the Branch Davidians or Ruby Ridge.

If you want them a bit more permanent, they can be filled with sand or dirt.
