    This document discusses airport markings and signs that provide guidance to pilots and vehicle operators. It describes mandatory signs, location signs, direction signs, destination signs, and special information signs. It also summarizes the Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS), which requires designated low visibility taxi routes when visibility is less than 1,200 feet. Key elements of the SMGCS include stop bar lights, runway guard lights, taxiway centerline lighting, geographic position markings, and clearance bar lights.

    INTERSECTION

    I DO NOT CROSS UNLESS CLEARANCE HAS


    BEEN RECEIVED (TOWERED AIRPORT) OR UNTIL
    CLEAR (UNTOWERED AIRPORT)

    NO TRAFFIC CONFLICT EXISTS
    INDICATES AN ILS
    CRITICAL AREA

    I HOLD WHEN INSTRUCTED BY ATC WHEN


    APPROACHES ARE BEING MADE WITH
    VISIBILITY LESS THAN 2 MILES OR CEILING
    LESS THAN 800 FEET
    INDICATES AREAS WHERE
    AIRCRAFT ARE FORBIDDEN
    TO ENTER

    I DO NOT ENTER

    I IDENTIFIES PAVED AREAS WHERE AIRCRAFT


    ENTRY IS PROHIBITED
    INDICATES HS-1

    I LAND AND HOLD SHORT POINT FOR OTHER


    THAN INTERSECTING RUNWAYS AS
    INSTRUCTED BY ATC
    LOCATION SIGNS

    I YELLOW INSCRIPTIONS ON A BLACK


    BACKGROUND -- IDENTIFIES RUNWAYS AND
    TAXIWAYS

    I BLACK INSCRIPTION ON A YELLOW


    BACKGROUND -- IDENTIFIES RUNWAY OR
    CRITICAL AREA BOUNDARIES OF:
    II RUNWAY SAFETY AREA (RSA)
    II OBSTACLE FREE ZONE (OFZ)
    II INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM AREAS (ILS)
    LOCATED ON THE TAXIWAY

    I IDENTIFIES TAXIWAY ON WHICH AIRCRAFT IS


    LOCATED
    LOCATED ON THE RUNWAY

    I IDENTIFIES RUNWAY ON WHICH AIRCRAFT IS


    LOCATED
    LOCATED AT THE EDGE
    OF PROTECTED AREA
    FOR RUNWAY

    I IDENTIFIES THE BOUNDARY OF THE RUNWAY


    PROTECTED AREA ON CONTROLLED AIRPORTS

    I IT IS INTENDED THAT PILOTS EXITING THIS AREA


    WOULD USE THIS SIGN AS A GUIDE TO JUDGE
    WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS CLEAR OF THE
    PROTECTED AREA
    LOCATED AT THE
    EDGE OF THE ILS
    CRITICAL AREA

    I IDENTIFIES THE BOUNDARY OF THE ILS
