runway lights
Airport strip markers
Runway lights are the illumination systems lining aircraft runways to guide pilots during takeoff and landing, especially in low visibility conditions.
Different colors indicate specific zones: white lights mark the runway edges, green marks the threshold, red marks the end.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for anything that guides someone toward a destination or goal.
