Shouldn't there be a system of 'traffic lights' at every junction that would show red (or green) if the route was closed (or clear)?

I'm sure that there is already sufficient technology onboard to enable an automatic system to track aircraft on taxiways.

If not, then all routes that lead directly onto active runways should show red. That's not beyond capabilities, Shirley?
