Taxiway Location Sign Indicates the taxiway you are on. (May be co-located with direction signs or runway holding position signs, as shown in graphic.)
ILS Critical Area Holding Position Sign ATC may hold you at this sign, on a taxiway, when the instrument landing system is being used at the airport. Vehicles driving beyond this point may interfere with the ILS signal to approaching aircraft.
Runway Holding Position Sign Always stop at this sign and wait for ATC clearance to proceed. In this example, the threshold for runway 15 is to your left and the threshold for runway 33 is to your right. This sign is located next to the yellow holding position marking painted on taxiways that intersect runways and on runways that intersect other runways.
Does this sign mean you are clear of the runway safety area?
Runway Boundary Sign This sign faces the runway and is visible to pilots exiting the runway. It is located next to the yellow holding position markings painted on the taxiway pavement. Taxi past this sign to be sure you are clear of the runway.
Direction Sign for Runway Exit Indicates an exit from a runway. Located just prior to the intersection, on the same side of the runway as the exit.
Runway Holding Position Marking This painted marking is found on taxiways at runway intersections and indicates where a vehicle is to stop. The solid lines are on the side where the vehicle is to hold and the dashed lines are always on the side toward the runway. Do not cross the markings until cleared.
Holding Position Marking for ILS Indicates the boundary of the ILS critical area. Don’t cross unless cleared. When exiting the area, a yellow ILS Critical Area Boundary sign will be adjacent this marking. All parts of your aircraft must cross this marking to be clear of the ILS critical area.
Closed Runway and Taxiway Marking Indicates a closed runway or taxiway. On a permanently closed runway, it will be placed at each runway end and at 1,000 ft. intervals. It will also be placed at each entrance of a permanently closed taxiway. A raised-light X, plywood or fabric may be used in lieu of a pavement marking.
Communications Controllers are required to get an acknowledgement of “hold short” instructions, so a “hold short” must be read back. When proceeding onto a movement area, vehicle operators must tell the controller three things: WHO you are, WHERE you are, and WHAT your intentions are.
If you are told to ‘Go Ahead’ by ATC: The controller wants you to state your intentions, HE DOES NOT MEAN PROCEED!!!
