Aircraft runways sometimes cross roads or rail lines, and require signaling to avoid collisions.

===Australia===
*[[Sydney Airport]] had a runway crossing, when that runway was extended. The [[Port Botany railway line]] was later deviated in March 1960 to release land for new [[Qantas]] hangars with sharp curves that avoided the runway.<ref>New Track Diversion Permits Airport Expansion ''[[Railway Transportation]]'' May 1960 page 30</ref><ref>The Airport Diversion of the Botany line ''[[Australian Railway History|Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin]]'' issue 274 August 1960 page 121</ref> On 18 June 1950, a [[Douglas DC-3]] operating for [[Ansett Australia]] was involved in a ground collision with a freight train at the crossing.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/274321777 Plane, Train Collide on Runway] ''[[Daily Mirror (Sydney)|Daily Mirror]]'' 18 June 1950 page 2</ref> The accident derailed several train cars, severely damaged the aircraft, and resulted in one minor injury to the aircraft crew.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/2785023 Collision at Airport, all Factors Probed] ''[[Canberra Times]]'' 20 June 1950 page 2</ref>  
*[[Burnie Airport]] had a runway crossing over the 05/23 Runway. This crossing was built over the railway line when the airfield was constructed, and has since been decommissioned with the closing of both the railway line and the 05/23 runway.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/WYY%20rail%20crossing%201.htm |title=Wynyard Airport Railway Crossing |publisher=Airways Museum }}</ref>

[[Winston Churchill Avenue, Gibraltar|Winston Churchill Avenue]] intersects the [[runway]] of [[Gibraltar International Airport]] at surface level; movable barricades close when [[aircraft]] land or take off.

As of March 2023, a tunnel under the runway opened to regular traffic, and the level crossing will only be available to pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.gbc.gi/news/airport-tunnel-will-open-one-minute-past-midnight-friday-morning | title=Airport Tunnel will open at one minute past midnight on Friday morning }}</ref>
===Hong Kong===
After the runway of [[Kai Tak Airport]] was extended in 1943, it intersected with the easternmost section of [[Prince Edward Road]], so all road traffic had to be stopped during takeoffs and landings. The issue was relieved when the authorities constructed a new runway for replacement in September 1958.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thinkhk.com/article/2021-06/30/49909.html|title=香港曾經有一個被馬路貫穿的機場？|lang=zh}}</ref>

===New Zealand===
A level crossing near [[Gisborne, New Zealand|Gisborne]], sees the [[Palmerston North - Gisborne Line]] cross one of [[Gisborne Airport]]'s [[runways]]. Aircraft landing on sealed 1310-metre runway 14L/32R are signalled with two red flashing lights on either side of the runway and a horizontal bar of flashing red lights to indicate the runway south of the railway line is closed, and may only land on the {{convert|866|m}} section of the runway north of the railway line. When the full length of the runway is open, a vertical bar of green lights signal to the aircraft, with regular rail signals on either side of the runway indicating trains to stop.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.aip.net.nz/pdf/NZGS_51.1_51.2.pdf |title= Gisborne (NZGS) aerodrome diagram |work= Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand |date=24 September 2009 |access-date=4 January 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.aip.net.nz/pdf/NZGS_46.1.pdf |title= Gisborne (NZGS) Operational Signal Lights |work= Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand |date= 4 September 2003 |access-date= 4 January 2010 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100522031024/http://www.aip.net.nz/pdf/NZGS_46.1.pdf |archive-date= 22 May 2010}}</ref>
