Airport Pavement Markings

(a) General. For the purpose of this section, the airport pavement markings have been grouped into four areas:

(1) Runway Markings.

(2) Taxiway Markings.

(3) Holding Position Markings.

(4) Other Markings.

(b) Marking Colors. Markings for runways are white. Markings defining the landing area on a heliport are also white except for hospital heliports which use a red “H” on a white cross. Markings for taxiways, areas not intended for use by aircraft (closed and hazardous areas), and holding positions (even if they are on a runway) are yellow.
