A different kind of extreme runway

CAUTION Rwy forms part of Dempster hwy (mile 244)

Wow, a rare instance of governmental common sense. Imagine, actually
trusting a pilot to make sure there are not trucks on the highway before
landing!

I've flown the Alaska Highway to Fairbanks, twice. I was told that
aircraft have the right-of-way on it, and I believe, other Alaska
highways, too.

Fortunately I didn't have to test that. But although there were some
cars and trucks on the highway, there was plenty of space between them
for a landing (in May and June).
