Airport; Human Factors
Johnson County Executive Airport needs a serious revamp of airport markings and runway hold position signage.  AT NIGHT you CANNOT see their ground taxiway and runway markings.  No reflective component is added to the taxiway marking paint.  There is VERY LOW CONTRAST between runway markings and pavement.  Areas have NON AIM STANDARD hold bars not authorized by FAA.  EACH RUNWAY intersection should have a standard ICAO runway hold sign (red with white numbers).  Perhaps they should also paint red runway hold markers at the hold bars.  In any event the yellow lead lines and taxiway markings (especially on the southwest turnoffs of runway 18) need to be repainted with black contrast bars and/or reflective yellow paint --- it is VERY difficult to figure out taxiway at night.  This is a safety of flight issue that should be addressed with Johnson County airport operator.
C172 instructor reports OJC taxiway markings and signage are inadequate and in need of refurbishment with reflective paint.
