Here, yes. and in some places;
the road furniture (guide posts, speed signs) are removable so the wings
clear things., and the police come out to remove the signs and close the
highway..
Wikipedia has a world wide article on it ..

Don't really have a strong opinion on it either way, just to raise a point
for discussion... but if it's for emergencies, should it have some tag in the
emergency=* namespace?

Proposal - RFC - highway strip Hi, proposing a new value
aeroway=highway_strip for landing strips that are normally
used as a part of a highway, but can be closed either because
of a military exercise or emergency landing for aeroplane
landing. The tag should only be used when the strip has been
dedicated as an emergency landing strip, other possibly
suitable emergency landing strips should not be tagged.
Currently there are a few highway strips that have been tagged
with aeroway=highway_strip (in addition to the proper
highway=* tag). Others have been tagged as aeroway=runway,
which causes the strip to be rendered the same way as an
aerodrome runway, which isn't sensible. There should be a way
to separate strips that have been dedicated as emergency
landing strips but are otherwise in use as a highway and
normal runways / dedicated emergency landing strips. The
proposal can be found at
