A runway designation s¡gn at a taxiway/runway intersection or a runway/runway intersection will be supplemented with a location sign ¡n the outboard (farthest from the taxiway) position, as appropriate. A NO ENTRY sign is prov¡ded when entry into an area is prohib¡ted.

Location A runway designat¡on sign at a tax¡way/runway intersection or a runway/runway intersection will be located on each side of the runway-hold¡ng position marking fac¡ng into the d¡rection of approach to the runway. A category l, ll or lll holding position sign will be located on each side of the runway-holding position marking facing into the direction of the approach to the critical area. A runway-holding position sign will be located on each s¡de of the runway-holding position facing the approach to the obstacle limitation surface or ILS/MLS critical/sensitive area, as appropriate.

Characteristics Mandatory instruct¡on signs have a red background, w¡th white inscriptions. The inscriptions on a runway designation sign will consist of the runway des¡gnat¡ons of the intersecting runway properly oriented to the v¡ewing direction.

Application An ¡nformation s¡gn identifies a spec¡fic iocation or rout¡ng. lnformation signs include: direction, location, dest¡nation, runway ex¡t and runway vacated signs. A runway exit s¡gn is prov¡ded to identify a runway exit. A runway vacated s¡gn is provided where the exit taxiway has no centerline lights and there is a need to indicate leaving the runway, the ILSiMLS crit¡calisensit¡ve area. A dest¡nation sign ¡ndicates the direction to a specific destination, such as cargo, general aviation, etc. A combined location and direction sign indicates routing information prior to a taxiway intersection. A direction sign identifies the designation and direction at a taxiway intersection. A location sign is prov¡ded in conjunct¡on w¡th a runway des¡gnation sign except at a runway/runway intersection.

Locat¡on lnformai¡on signs are located on the left-hand s¡de of the taxiway in line with the taxiway intersection marking. Where there is no taxiway intersect¡on marking the sign is installed at least 40m away from the centerline of the intersecting taxiway. A runway ex¡t sign is located on the same side of the runway as the exil is located (i.e. left or right). A runway vacated s¡gn is located at least on one side of the taxiway.

Characteristics An inforrnation sign other than a locatjon sign consists of an ¡nscr¡ption in black on a yellow background. A location sign cons¡sts of an inscription in yellow on a black background. A runway exit sjgn consists ofthe ex¡t tax¡way designator and an arrow ¡ndicating the direction to follow. A runway vacated sign depicts the runwayholding position marking as shown ¡n the example in Pattern A in the example under "Runway-Holding Position Markings". The inscriptions on a dest¡nat¡on sign comprise an alpha, alphanumerical or numer¡cal message ident¡fying the destination plus an arrow ind¡cating the direction to proceed. The inscriptions on a direction sign comprise an alpha, alphanumerical message ident¡fying the taxiway(s) plus an arrow or arrows appropriately oriented as shown in the example. The inscriptions on a location sign comprise the dest¡nation of the locat¡on taxiway, runway or other pavement the aircraft is on or ¡s entering.
