That may or may not be true, but if you've ever travelled California's
Central Valley much, you'll surely be familiar with the various Frontage
Roads besides the freeways and sundry highways blocked off temporarily
for ag plane usage. I've many times watched an AgCat or similar land a
few metres off I-5 on the parallel local road to top up the spray tanks
(or whatever it is they do). Quite a cool sight. And quite legal.
