British Air 134, cleared to land runway 09. Take second left onto taxiway Alpha when able. Do not, repeat, do not take first left down Main.

Wow! Imagine a car that doesn't stop for the lights...
But well, I think they'll stop.

Wow
, I'd certainly consider that a "hot spot" for possible runway incursions.
I think they should have some type of vehicle capture net that goes up when the light is red - just in case some crazy tried to drive through the gate.

We had the same situation here in Holland at a military base when my dad was young. If the light was red, you waited for a few Starfighters to takeoff or land.

I'm gonna say there were cracked windows now and then with Starfighters flying over.

No, according my dad it was a road right over the runway. Eighter way, traffic lights were not a luxury at Gilze Rijen eighter.

Hmm, I think it was Ypenburg which had such a situation...but I'm not sure because there are no pictures of it.
