Narrative:

As I taxied out to runway 22; I approached the approach end of runway 26. At that point; there were 3 yellow centerline taxiway stripes that fanned out in front of me. One went to a closed taxiway with a barrier that; if hit; would damage the propeller. One went to an open taxiway. One went to a closed runway (runway 26). My concern is that; in low visibility or at night; a pilot might follow the wrong taxiway centerline and be confronted with a sudden need to stop or find himself on the wrong runway. If the airport maintenance crew were to scrub off/paint out those 2 yellow centerline taxiway stripes that lead to closed areas; a safer environment would be the result.

Title: C172 PLT RPTS THAT TXWY MARKINGS APCHING RWY 26 AT LEX ARE CONFUSING AND COULD LEAD TO ACFT ENTERING A CLOSED RWY 26 OR A TXWY BLOCKED BY A BARRIER.

Narrative: AS I TAXIED OUT TO RWY 22; I APCHED THE APCH END OF RWY 26. AT THAT POINT; THERE WERE 3 YELLOW CTRLINE TXWY STRIPES THAT FANNED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. ONE WENT TO A CLOSED TXWY WITH A BARRIER THAT; IF HIT; WOULD DAMAGE THE PROP. ONE WENT TO AN OPEN TXWY. ONE WENT TO A CLOSED RWY (RWY 26). MY CONCERN IS THAT; IN LOW VISIBILITY OR AT NIGHT; A PLT MIGHT FOLLOW THE WRONG TXWY CTRLINE AND BE CONFRONTED WITH A SUDDEN NEED TO STOP OR FIND HIMSELF ON THE WRONG RWY. IF THE ARPT MAINT CREW WERE TO SCRUB OFF/PAINT OUT THOSE 2 YELLOW CTRLINE TXWY STRIPES THAT LEAD TO CLOSED AREAS; A SAFER ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE THE RESULT.
