There is a tall, attractive, kiosk-type marker at the entrance to Cargo Road indicating it's an entrance to airport grounds -- to my mind this had an official but decorative, welcoming flavor. The road does go right under the runway, which I imagine would have significant security implications, but there certainly was no obvious signage saying "authorized vehicles only" or indicating it is a restricted road. Google Maps does give that warning in "Directions" mode, as Fr. Paul points out, but there isn't any indication on the map or the road itself. In short, it's not surprising if the road is indeed restricted, but they certainly are not doing a good job of letting people know that before they enter. But now the warning has been given, it's best to stay away.
