Thats when people start flying off the taxiway...

That's right, only the runway has X's on it.
That's what I used when the runway at the airport where the airplane I
was flying was being reconstructed.
Some people got upset and said it wasn't permitted but couldn't back up
what they were saying with any regulation. The airport manager didn't
complain.

For Jay, you now have Runway XX Left and XX Right depending on direction of
travel... Geaux practice on the narrowest paved strips you can find if it
makes you nervous and also do you short field TO/LD till you feel
comfortable...
