From memory Joburg doesn't have centreline green taxy way lights - only blue edge lights. I'm very much in the "there but for the grace of God" camp. In fact I believe aircraft have previously taken the wrong route. It's worth considering it is poorly lit down there and the taxyway veers left ie by keeping straight you will end up in the maintenance area by default. The photo at post 109 makes it look easy but it isn't, IMHO, at night.
