Cargo boy ,I believe you have no idea about the layout of TAPA Airport.Firstly traffic lights would make no difference to a heavy jet making the turn to line up,no cars would be blown away.
I see that non precision approaches seem to be a problem for you.Not every country can install an ILS because of the topography,so a VOR DME is needed to guide us in.If that is U/S we revert to a NDB approach.Here in Antigua it works very well.
777s, 340s, 747s, DC8s all are 3-4 times weekly and have never skidded off the runway.
I said before possibly nose wheel steering wasnt working or a mis- judged turn.
