Wouldn't this whole problem disappear if runways were designed differently, at the minimum one exclusive for landing and one for takeoff with no chance for planes landing and planes taking off to meet, like 2 parallel hockey sticks.
Both runways would be painted and lit up completely differently with large lettering explicitly saying take off and landing.
- sjg007 9y agoLack of space, weather conditions and also a lot more planes to get through the system means they use multiple runways for both takeoff and landing.
