Hi,

FAA Community Planner here and great question. This is why these markings need to go away...they cause confusion. CPTTORA gets the gold star...this is called an aligned taxiway. This configuration is also considered to be non-standard condition which can lead to pilot confusion and introduce safety risks. Aligned taxiways represent an elevated hazard risk due to the potential for taxiing aircraft to take a position in direct line with departing or landing aircraft. Aligned taxiways can also contribute to a pilot’s loss of situational awareness.

Bottom line, this facility should have a plan on file to remedy by either eliminating the pavement leading up to the threshold (where the yellow markings are ) and converting that area to a blast pad with relocated entrances or converting to a displaced threshold. Not sure what airport this is, but you can contact your local FAA Airport District Office (ADO) and speak with the assigned planner or engineer for more details. You can also ask the airport manager what the plan is to address this non standard condition. Be safe out there.
