What's the length of the takeoff roll for such an aircraft?

I suspect that there are many roads in Alaska that have straight
stretches with good sight lines, especially on the tundra. Alaska has
low population density, so likely not much traffic on many roads,
especially in the bush. Would it be any more risky than landing a bush
plane on a lake (floating logs, boats)?

Martin, the non-pilot.

Indeed, John; my thoughts as well.

I was wondering just that. Would the pilot have to hire a couple of flag people 
to close down the roadway for the length, duration and timing of the take off ?

Hmm, I wouldn't trust our private pilots to do their flying properly, let alone 
check that the road was clear before starting their takeoff roll.

In Alaska, it is legal to use roads as runways. Pictured is beautiful
1956 Cessna 182 parked near the Parks Highway. This is right across
the river from Denali.

Unfortunately, my trip up to Denali wasn't too photographically
interesting. It rained and snowed the entire time and visibility was
about a mile. So, no mountain today.
