Where a road for ground vehicles only meets a taxiway or at an end of usable service area for a ramp or taxiway, the light at the edge of the road or the final taxiway edge light may emit red light. Taxiway edge lights are spaced at a minimum of 50 to a maximum of 200 feet apart. On straightaways, the spacing is typically 200 feet.
Runway Entrance Lights (REL): Red unidirectional lights along taxiway centerlines entering a runway. Takeoff Hold Lights (THL): Red unidirectional lights in a double-longitudinal row, located parallel to runway centerline lighting. Runway Intersection Lights (RIL): Similar to THLs, but located on a runway, prior to intersection with another runway.
These light systems are classified according to the intensity they are capable of producing: High intensity runway lights (HIRL) Medium intensity runway lights (MIRL) Low intensity runway lights (LIRL) [1] Many HIRL and MIRL systems have variable intensity controls, whereas the LIRLs normally have one intensity setting.
At a red light (including a red arrow), a driver intending to take a right turn (or a left turn onto a one-way street) may, after stopping for the red light and yielding to other cars and ...
Air traffic control signal light gun in use at base flight tower. In the case of a radio failure or aircraft not equipped with a radio, or in the case of a deaf pilot, air traffic control may use a signal lamp (called a "signal light gun" or "light gun" by the FAA [1] [2]) to direct the aircraft.
Simply put: You cannot run a red light if it’s taking too long to turn green. If you do, you risk being cited by law enforcement, according to California Vehicle Code 21453.
RAAS functions by providing audible alerts to confirm runway identification, and also provides an aural alarm if it detects undue acceleration (indicating an attempt to take off) while the aircraft is on any taxiway instead of a designated runway.
Aimer explained: “In a commercial aircraft you must have certain types of lights to operate between dawn and dusk. One is position lights – a green and red light on each wing tip and a tail light.
