You yanks don't have Gable Markers? What defines the RWS over there then? Typically, the edge gables are aligned with any hold-short lines, but not always....
As for how they're placed, you can check out the Manual of Standards PDF that covers them if you click here...

Oh I guess we better educate our dear friends on the other side of the Pacific who drive on the wrong side of the road, measure in imperial and still use old MPH what Gable Markers are!:D
Gable markets (where used) delineate the physical dimension/s of the RWS:)
You guys have gotta get with the program...lololol

KRviator...my computer didn't want me to open that link without changing permissions, but I did look at a Transport Canada AIM to try to figure out what RWS is (Runway Strip?). Our airport markings are delineated in our AIM...its pretty extensive...and good fodder for pilot certificate oral exams. ;)
Capt...yes, we drive on the "right" side of the road (literally); I'll give ya the metric thing...we can't figure out its the same basic 10's idea as our money; and many of us only use mph when air racing (sounds better/faster). But we did drop one u from colourful, so we are efficient in our spelling, if nothing else. :p
Snowflake...gable markers in disrepair would likely be re-purposed (yeah, that's what we'll call it ;) ) by pilots and turned into chocks here...and orange cones would probably be absconded by the weekend sports car club at my field for their rallies. Nothing is sacred to us Colonists...but as a Canuck, you know that too! :p
Oh, and Runway Strip...hmmmm...sounds like a bar across from an airport...wait, I better not go there! :D
Cheers,
Bob
