Or
at least as you are getting into position to cross over the numbers,
instead of having them off to the side some distance away.

Airports with scheduled jet service usually have lighted signs with
white letters on a red background identifying the runway. These signs
are usually located at every entrance to each runway.

I'm not super experienced, but I can't ever remember identifying a
runway while taxiing using the painted numbers. Even the little
podunk airports with one runway have identifying signs on paved
strips.

The GPS in the 172's I rent show runways and their designations when you
zoom in. It sounds like this ought to be another cross-check we can add to
our lists.
