What is a good indication that someone is on a draw?
I am not quite sure on this one, but if someone is on a draw on the flop and they hit their flush/straight/etc. on the turn they will check it to try and trap you.
Does anyone else have any good indications that someone has hit their draw or is in on a draw?

If they check and then call to you they may be on a draw, I'd say its mostly about the player and the board. I mean I've tried a million times to give the person the wrong odds to hit their cards on turn or river and they still seem to always call so best to do is best big on the flop if you got a solid hand if the flop has alot of draw potential.
If I feel they are on a draw and the turn comes their draw card (suited card for example) I think the most important thing is to watch THEM not the board (live of course) and see if they make a reaction. At this point if they have just called on the flop and their card came down on turn then I'd say lead out once again and if they raise be prepared to fold. The biggest mistake I used to have and I see a lot people have is they can't fold a set or a big pair when that draw card hits, you have to trust your instinct.
Lots of calling to me is an indication, but sometimes people might have a monster and are trapping you by just calling.

People who think after a large series of bets are sometimes calculating their drawing odds. People who check or call after a small bet are often on a draw (they also sometimes have a very strong hand)
