The road looks really bright and is most likely new... Likewise there are shadows of signs on the road to the west probably warning people to keep off and not continue if they didn't use the exit. And obviously to the east it confirms the fact it's not completed since there is dirt moved around everywhere. Besides the satellite image is probably several years old and the map is newer which is why there's a road for the map part of it. Haha but I bet everyone already knew that!

It looks like these guys are skateboarding (or something like that). Doesnt't the idea of having a whole piece of motorway as a playground give you some feeling of freedom? It's just cool. When I was younger, I hat some of those radio-controlled cars. One of them was a heavily modfied buggy. I used it to chase cars and in my hometown. It was fun (but also kinda stupid) to steer it between the wheels of tractors and their trailers. They are extending a motorway only a few kilometres from here now. Maybe I'll re-activate my good old buggy and pay it a visit. :-) This reminds me ot that underground water canal they finished buildung about a year ago. They let skateboarders use it for some day before flooding it: http://wien.orf.at/stories/101613/ Dave,

Looking west at the cloverleaf intersection with the other highway, cars southbound on the new road can only exit onto the east-west road. Looks to me like that dude's got an orange hat on, and thus is probably part of the construction crew. It’s just an incomplete section of highway.

If you look a bit further to the north, you find this: http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=50.955291,13.919163&z=15 Seems Andrew is right, the motorway is not quite finished yet, maybe they ran out of money =) Hmm, the missing road is a puzzling one.

It does look a little like they might be actually - especially the one just to the east of our thumbnail. @Rich - crazy, that nearly had James and I for a minute there! The join isn't obvious, but if you look carefully you can spot a line running through the trees. A nicer done seam than we usually see for certain. @Weener - I love the idea they might be skateboarding - that would be a whole bunch of fun!

Conversely, if there was a car on the road, it would be in more danger than this dude... Doesnt look like he’s in any danger seeing as though the road isnt finished yet…
