Maybe taxiways parallel to runways shouldn't be a thing.

Maybe taxiways parallel to runways shouldn't be a thing.
- URSpider94 9y agoHow do you propose to get to and from the runways?

- rurounijones 9y agoI may be putting words in OPs mouth here but I imagine he meant not putting parallel taxiways so close to the main runway. I know that space restrictions make this very tenuous but I must admit that looking at the overhead on https://ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA17IA148.aspx https://ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA17IA148.aspx that the taxiway marked C looks a lot more like a runway than the one marked F. (due to the width maybe?)
- tacostakohashi 9y agoThat's been my takeaway from this incident too. Can't the taxiways be not straight, like have a slight zig zag to them, so that they're easily distinguishable from a runway? Not ridiculously zigzagged, but maybe 3 or 4 angles of 15 degrees along the length or something would do it.
