They're looking out of the windows and can see them just like the runway markings.
They don't want them high like road signs as they'd be a hazard and subject to jet blast etc.

As others have said they are ground level to ensure wingtip/propellers/podded engines often project beyond the taxiway edges.
They're made big enough to be easy to read, even from an elevated flight.
