Simon, yes, they have cross runways to cater for usually atypical conditions. Usually shorter runways, as they are more oriented for GA aircraft that do not generally have as high x-wind limitations or autoland

So, the LONG runways are typical 80% of the time wind oriented, and the other 20% for the other. My figures are guesses only I am no statistician.
