Ooh, thank you, i was purely speculating (obviously lol). I'm gonna look at an airport map when i get home to get a little more clarification. Is intersection C5 the intersection of the taxiway at runway 34R?

It seems like the standard call would be something like "Taxi to intersection C5 and hold short of runway 34R for traffic" or something like that. From what little i do know if this, there should be standard phrasing for almost every normal direction from ATC yeah? I will be curious to see if there are changes to SOP after this. Even pure human error generally has a systemic issue that caused it

Also don't some airports have essentially traffic control lighting that is tied to ground radar and ATC? (I'm using ATC generically, i know there's a least a couple different control frequencies and teams) Or maybe i dreamed that after binging Admiral Cloudberg write-ups

I'm happy to share my extensive write-up that includes the relevant area of the airport chart. Some of those insights were written following a conversation with Admiral Cloudberg.

Regarding the Stop Bar Lighting, it was unfortunately inoperative at junctions C-1 to C-14 since Dec 27 as per a NOTAM bulletin.

That write-up is amazing and i love you for it. Also cool that you know the Admiral. Thanks for the work you put into that write-up and filling me in too

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I can't say that I know Kyra, we just exchanged some messages on a Reddit thread.
