Things like this are being tried. SeaTac airport has a taxiway which is large, parallel, and frequently (enough) mistaken for a runway.
> SEA-TAC personnel have been very proactive in trying to reduce the problem, including the installation of an unlit, nonreflective elevated lighted X at the threshold of taxiway Tango; broadcasting a notice on the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) not to mistake the parallel taxiway for the adjacent runway; posting warnings on aeronautical charts not to mistake the taxiway for runway 16R; and the development of numerous training aids and brochures that explain the problem to transient pilots traveling through SEA-TAC.

- shuntress 9y agoMy assumption based on nothing in particular is that one (of unlit/lighted) means 'Lights contained within the X illuminating it from within' and the other means 'Lights external to the X illuminating it from without'
