I would use a SiteAccess AcessRule for the respective folders
(or a custom folder with either a custom "__before_publishing_traverse_hook__"
or a custom "__bobotraverse__").
It would check the necessary preconditions for folder access and
raise an exception (maybe "Redirect" exception), when they are not
fulfilled.
