You'd think wouldn't you? Lights are on maximum brightness during the day and bright at night.
Hold lines for the inboard runway are apparently further from that runway than at similar US airports and come up quickly. Very tight arrival spacing, high speeds into the exits and very sharp stops all contribute.
We operate this configuration when we have the staff for it and never without.
