A closer look
Space is so tight on the tiny British territory of Gibraltar that city planners were forced to get extremely creative and recklessly dangerous. The main highway leading to the border of Spain casually crosses directly over the center of the airport's only runway. Much like a terrifying railroad crossing, barriers come down and halt commuter traffic every single time an Airbus A320 needs to land or take off. Nothing livens up your morning commute quite like yielding to a commercial jetliner.
