A boundary/edge recognition system for on ground vehicular traffic, especially airport runways and taxiways, is disclosed. The system uses multiple markers each mounted from a traditional base with a rigid structural support onto which is mounted an illuminated region with elongated, three-dimensional indicia extending outwardly therefrom. These indicia, which are self-lighting, reflective, or both, will serve as visual extensions of new or pre-existing runway/taxiway markers when oriented substantially parallel or tangential to respective runway or taxiway boundaries/edges.
