Subject: another runway incursion at LAX Posted on: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 22:52:51 +0000 (UTC)

7th incursion in the past year at LAX. Can't they install green and
red lights at busy airports, like they have for trains? When an
airplane is ready for takeoff, the runway would have a green light,
and all the taxiways that cross the runway would turn red. It seems to
me that a visual signal is much superior than radio communication,
because radio communication is a one-time event, subject to
misunderstanding, or plain missing the message. With lights, the
communication is continuous. (I'm not suggesting to eliminate radio,
but that lights would greatly augment the communication).
