Have been stationed at a number of Air Force Bases that had roads
going around the end of the R/W across the overrun. They had red and
green lights on the road and if a bird was landing or taking off, the
red light was on and traffic stopped. If green, all traffic moved on
road.

Must have worked ok as never heard of a collision between someone on
the peripheral road and an aircraft.

I just noticed an interesting airport in the CFS (Canadian A&FD).
I glanced at the airport diagram for CAJ2, Eagle Plains/Wiley, Yukon
Territory, and noticed that the runway was on top of a road. A glance
at the CAUTION section confirmed that:

CAUTION Rwy forms part of Dempster hwy (mile 244)

The runway is 2500x60 gravel (pavement isn't common north of 60), so
basically, the highway just gets wider for a half mile and there's a
wind sock sitting beside it. Has anyone reading this group visited
this airport (either by plane or car)? I wonder how it's signed on
the highway, and how pilots feel about fighting with trucks for the
right of way.


All the best,
