So, Indianapolis has the best airport in the country as rated by travelers. Woo hoo. I've been through there, and it's OK, but all I want out of an airport is the absence of avoidable hassles. They do that to make getting in and out of the place easy and unmemorable, I'm fine. On a related note, I noticed this article about the world's oddest airports. My favorite is the Gibraltar airport, where the busiest road in the country cuts right across the runway. When a plane is landing or taking off, the traffic arms come down just like at a railroad crossing. Wonder if they have yahoos there who try to speed around the gates and beat the planes.

Bush Intercontinental airport north of Houston had the same problem - a taxi-way cut across a major airport access road for vehicle traffic. They rebuilt the vehicle access road to run under the taxi-way. Really freaky to drive under that overpass and see a 747 above you, ...
Larry:
I know the exact road you're referring to...talk about "odd".
But perhaps in situations such as these two, the people are less likely to become a statistic.
(btw, car vs. plane...my money's still on the PLANE)
