Many posts mention fixed distances as positional references, but landing performance involves so many variables it cannot be considered static.
The position where the wheels touch the ground will vary with each landing.
The distance required to stop varies with situational conditions; reported conditions may not be accurate.

Landing overruns still feature high in safety statistics; is the industry missing something.

LCY was mentioned an example of fixed distance markings (and lights); are these still in use after runway lengthening (by a small amount).
