Thought this was funny

Was flying around in Venezuela and landed at SVVG. ATC kept telling me to take the next runway but I didn't see one. Kept taxiing toward the tower and finally saw the taxiway, or so I thought......

Turns out it was a road through the runway. First time I had seen that!

Good catch. I probably would've noticed after the villagers started chasing me for hitting one of their chickens.

Haha, "Taxi to McDonald parking using taxiway N66"  ;D
Very funny shot. Actually, in Heidelberg in Germany (one of the biggest American bases in Europe), there's a runway that is crossed by a road like this as well :)

I've been on roads that cross the end of the runway before, but never the middle of it...that is very weird.

Can you imagine what a level crossing for one of those would look like? ;D
