You lot obviously haven't visited Cyprus. Try the motorway from Limassol to Nicosia (2 sections), and from Limassol to Larnaca (one section) all about 2000m long. On the latter motorway, the place to look is about 1/2 mile from the point where the Nicosia motorway diverges. You see the road signs have huge hinges at the bottom, the central crash barrier is just pushed in to road surface on short poles so it's easily removed, there are strange rectangular white markings on the road surface, and large rectangular concrete areas near the white markings either side of the road. I only really noticed when a Cypriot friend I was travelling with kept asking 'could you land an F16 on this bit?'
