But, did you know this! The Gibraltar Airport runway has an intersection with a busy highway.
Yes! that's right, the runway and highway are at the same level and cross each other at a vehicular traffic crossings.
Take a look.

That is unbelieveable
I you had ever been the Gib -- I was there many times -- you would know why it's like this.
anonymous 5:23, obviously very FEW people have been there and that's why we brought it to you.
It'snot like we posted pictures of a toilet seat, which everyone is familiar with.
I can not stop looking at this, I may have to go see it for myself.
For those who are avid plane watchers, it is an experience being this close to the planes. But it will only continue through 2010, as there are plans for a submerged tunnel to be constructed next year, which will end this odd town planning quirk.
This will finally end the queues of traffic hopefully! But the Spanish customs have always been the bottleneck and not the runway barriers.
Have there been any accidents with this arrangement??

@dogg: No.
It is perfectly safe. Police presence on both sides.
If you think about it, it isn't much different than what we do on bridges when a ship is coming through...
