There are a lot of airfields susceptible to this. Nice is another, where there are four parallel runway sized strips, but only two are runways. Runway markings aren't always visible, especially when landing into a low sun with haze, dust or wet surfaces, never mine in low vis. Even colouring the tarmac might not help in such conditions. Does anyone know if the runway is simply designated "29", or is it referred to as "29 left", as may be more helpful in preventing such events?
