I can't understand why a series of stop/caution/go lights has not been
implemented at intesections of runways and taxiways. Controller clears

one
aircraft for takeoff, the intersection lights go from yellow to red.
Progessive taxiing is following a series of green lights. It seems so

cheap
and easy -- much easier than cleaning up the wreckage of two jets.


The FAA has instituted a test program similar to what you describe. So far,
the test results are disappointing.
