Gotham is dangerous, no one should be traveling out at night. That's how his parents bit the bullet. In fact they should probably stay in during the day as well.
Bats has GPS and he probably has jumpy things like Speed Racer has in the Mach 5, so in the event of a barricade he can hop over. Besides he's doing their jobs, for free, why would they want to stop him.
This was actually more difficult than I thought it would be; people love filming random signs and buildings.
