I've often wondered about this.
Landing on a short strip with a road close to the threshold.
Shepparton runway 09, for example, is 420m long with the Goulburn Valley Highway adjacent. There is a natural tendency to not be too high, on approach, but you'd better look out for double decker busses.
Another point about this particular location is that there are no signs warning motorists that there is an aerodrome there. If not familiar with the area, a motorist could easily be past the 09 undershoot before realising that there is an aerodrome on the right.
Asked the council, long time ago, what their policy was on putting signs up - said they'd find out and get back - never did.
