Figure 2-7 Selected airport markings and surface lighting

Aircraft use taxiways to transition form parking areas to the runway. Taxiways are identified by
a continuous yellow centerline stripe and may include edge markings to define the edge of the
taxiway. Where a taxiway approaches a runway, there may be a holding position marker, these
consist of four yellow lines (two solid and two dashed). The solid lines are where the aircraft is to
hold. Beyond this point, an aircraft is considered to be on the runway.

There are six types of signs that may be found at airports. See Figure 2-8. The more complex the
layout of an airport, the more important the signs become to pilots, the six types of signs are.

 Mandatory instruction signs – red background with white inscription. These signs denote
an entrance to a runway, critical area, or prohibited area.
 Location signs – black with yellow inscription and a yellow border, no arrows. They are
used to identify a taxiway or runway location, to identify the boundary of the runway, or
identify an instrument landing system (ILS) critical area.
