Will Brake For Airplanes

On my drive to work today I drove past Lake Hood, and I came upon what normally would look like a railroad crossing, but instead this is what I saw:



Yes, this was not a railroad crossing, but a plane crossing. For lunch as I went out with the guy that I am going to replace and he had me drive around Lake Hood to show me a back way to get to work and as we were driving around the lake, we reached an area that had a bunch of signs that reminded drivers to always yield to airplanes.
