What are you trying to do? Get the polygons reversed?

Select the polygons, scroll down on the right tool bar to the surface properties, and click the "flip" button.

Also you should detach your extruded meshes you used as a barrier. Make sure there is no texture on the mesh when detaching. Vechicles do get stuck when hitting the hidden side of a mesh. So always make sure its facing the way your vehicle will hit it and you will be ok.
