Most runway incursions result from a breakdown in communication with ATC, a lack of situational awareness, or controller error. Without prior planning, SA decreases, especially at an unfamiliar airport with unaccustomed or confusing markings.

The list is not all-inclusive, but the message is the same: Stay alert. The hold-short line is arguably the most critical marking on any airport.
