As for how they're placed, you can check out the Manual of Standards PDF that covers them if you click here...

We have yellow lines, solid and dashed on the hold side on the taxiway. All Americans have 20/15 X-ray vision and can see this easily. Also signage side of the taxiway notes the runway (red with white letters) you are approaching and taxiway (black with yellow letters) you are on. If sign is direction to taxiway yellow black letters.

At large airports with airline traffic we have embedded lights in the taxiway for low Vis Ops and wig wag lights (RED) on each side before entering the runway.

We yanks have it covered. BTW Yanks is an insult to those who live in the South, but we know what you mean Aussie. Ha ha.
