Pre-takeoff checklist
A friend and I were discussing the new runway crossing procedures. Ie, something like "Cherokee 62R, exit on Bravo2 taxiway, Bravo to the ramp, cross rwy 4."
Our discussion evolved a bit and we began to talk about runway and taxiway markings. I am curious - are there any airports where taxiway indications are painted on the taxiways (I'm thinking a big Yellow letter A, B, C, etc).
If not, why not? IMHO - it would add to situational awareness for a minimal expense (compared to adding new/more lighted taxiway signs).
We see this kind of thing all over our city streets (turn lanes, crosswalks, STOP AHEAD, speed limits), and of course the runway #s on the runway, so why not taxiways too ?
