I've flown into Gibraltar on Monarch ... the boat I was connecting up with for a trans-Atlantic was docked in the marina to the left of the runway. We had a great view of aircraft arriving and departing. The road you mentioned has a gate not unlike a R/R crossing ... stopping vehicular traffic whenever a flight arrived or departed.
No matter what or where, there’s a Freeper who’s been there and done that.
