I have a trade depot surrounded by walls, 2 doors, and a floodgate, with the top arranged like this (W=wall,D=door,X=floodgate):  

code:

 WWWWWDXDW 

 The doors/floodgate block access to the depot even when open.  I have a save if you need it.

Doors and floodgates, unlinked, block depot access.

[Nate879]

They are linked to a lever, and are open.

That's not the point. ANY construction in the path of the wagon will block the wagon. Even two open unlinked doors with a clear floor between them will block it. There's no easy way to automatically seal in traders, except a drawbridge over a channel.

Well, open wall grates don't block wagon access to the depot. I have a 3 tile wide corridor with wall grates linked to a lever, which the wagons can pass when they are lowered.

I think it's mainly doors that block caravan access, so just assume the "doors" you make already have door frames attached.

Just build 3 flood gates in a raw. I don't see a way how you can make the caravan pass here:

D - door, O - open space
F - floor, I - door frame.
