There's some interesting stuff near there. Close to the airport there's some sort of campus with what looks like test tracks:

The tracks look designed for either testing cars or teaching advanced driving to police. There are T shaped concrete pads that are stained like people have done millions of three point turns on them or something. The whole complex is a bit odd.

This is a typical driving school. The curved tracks are not long enough to train police or test cars. You can only drive through it very slowly. And you can see there're parallel parking stains as well.

This is what a stereotypical vehicle testing and advanced-driving centre looks like:
