Airport Markings

Action or PurposeType of Marking

Holding Position:Denotes entrance to a runway from a taxiway, approach hold position on a taxiway, or LAHSO holding position on a runway.

ILS Critical Area Boundary:Denotes entrance to an area to be protected for an ILS signal.

Taxiway/Taxiway Holding Position:Denotes location on taxiway or apron where aircraft hold short of another taxiway.

Non-Movement Area Boundary:Delineates movement area under control of ATC, from non-movement area.

Surface Painted Holding Position:Denotes entrance to a runway from a taxiway.

Enhanced Taxiway Centerline:Provides visual cue to help identify location of a runway holding position on a taxiway. These markings are installed 150 feet prior to the holding position markings.

Surface Painted Taxiway Direction:Defines designation/direction of intersecting taxiway(s).

Surface Painted Taxiway Location:Identifies taxiway on which the aircraft is located.

Taxiway Edge: Solid Double Yellow LinesDefines edge of usable, full strength taxiway. Adjoining

pavement IS NOT intended for use by aircraft.
