Google maps shows the road to be 7-10m below the end of runway. There must be a lot of loose gravel near the hammerhead.

There's a road that leads to the other side of town and there hasn't been a jet blast damaging motorists. Hard to believe it, though. And yes, there's nothing but gravel off from the runway...
