Here's a runway you wouldn't want to be on during rush hour! Can anyone tell me where this airstrip/highway is?

[RollerBall]

You are joking clip aren't you. What pratt would go and paint a set of numbers on a main highway.

Wait a minute.......it's somewhere in Canada  ;D

1 out of every 3 miles in a highway system were to be straight according to dwight D. Eisenhower in order to have emergency airstrips in case of wartime emergencies..

First of all, according to the legend, I believe it's one out of every 5 miles

Second, I've heard this is not true

O.K. wise guys...for your information this is an actual place in FS9 called the ---------highway strip...and it's not in Canada.......do you see any moose or beer in the picture? So despite your territorial razzing, here's a hint ....It's near The Brain.

Many countries have (or had) highway strips...

So, the Brain has resurfaced just in time to lead everyone to the answer to this spot. I thought a few clues might be appropriate, so I've posted a few pics not all of which are relevant to the answer though....
