The aircraft's wingtip is approximately 59 feet away from the center of the aircraft, if the aircraft were to takeoff on the edge line of the runway (far left side w/r/t direction of travel, if they would have inadvertently used the edge line as the center line), the wing tip would still be 15 or so feet away from the sign. Any further off center (say if the pilot inadvertently mistook the edge lights as the center line lights) and they would not have made it past the first few as they are all elevated lights.
