[A poster from Transport Canada which] depicts two airline pilots who are in the midst of a complex taxiing situation. Taxiing is being recognized as a major runway incursion hazard, particularly in bad weather. Taxiing in bad weather was a contributing factor in some of the most severe cases of actual runway collisions...
