The vast majority of recommendations suggest putting up barriers to dissuade the devs and designers from interrupting you. But remember every question they don't ask is a possible misinterpretation of what you need them to build.
I'd suggest a more targeted approach. For instance what are the typical types of questions they ask you? Next time someone asks you a questions ask yourself
"Do they already know the answer?" - If yes then why do they feel like they need to ask me? What am I doing to give the impression I'm a micro manager.
"Do they not know the answer but you think they should" - Maybe they need to spend more time with the client, or you need to add more people to product management roles decentralize some of the knowledge.
"If I spent more time upfront white-boarding with them would they need to ask me this question?"
Just remember they're asking you questions for reason.
