With an average of three runway incursions each day in the United States, it’s always a good idea to regularly review airport signs and markings and regard airport surface operations with the same importance as any other phase of flight.

The article also has a full-page quick reference guide on airport signs and markings. http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/2011/media/NovDec2011.pdf
