Default How can we "fix" LEX to prevent wrong runway selection everywhere?

I've followed the lengthy and somewhat heated discussion speculating
responsibility in the LEX accident,


Lets see... we could paint the runway name with big numbers on the
runway or put little signs next to the runway entrance.

We could put a device in the cockpit that automatically indicates
which direction the aircraft is pointed so the pilot could compare
it with his assigned runway.

We could require that commercial aircraft that are operating at
night use runways that have runway lights.

We could use a moving map that shows the aircraft postition.
