Network of Service Roads at Los Angeles
International Airport
Service Roads do not cross Runways There are
designated areas to transition across Taxilanes
and Taxiways. Vehicles on service roads require
no communication with Air Traffic Control Tower.
Use caution in these areas due to unusual
service road configurations and vehicle/aircraft
traffic.

Service Road/Taxiway Intersection
Vehicle encroaching on taxiway
MD-80 Wing-tip Clearance
B747-400 Wing-tip Clearance

• Stop for aircraft signs designate where vehicles
  must yield to aircraft.

• All other service road signs such as Stop signs
  and Stop for Landing Aircraft signs must be
  followed accordingly.

Runway Surface Markings

• The runway edge-line is an unbroken white stripe
  indicating the edge of the runway and the edge of
  the full-strength pavement.

• Holdbar Lines are located at every Runway -
  Taxiway intersection

If you see this line you are in the wrong place,
turn and go back!

Safety Areas
Runway Safety Area
250 From Runway Centerline

• Runway safety areas are a defined surface
  surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for
  reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the
  event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion
  from the runway.

Runway Incursion
Definition
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines
a runway incursion as "Any occurrence at an
aerodrome (airport) involving the incorrect
presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on
the protected area of a surface designated for
the landing and take-off of aircraft."
Aftermath of a runway incursion
31
Runway Access Procedures (Incursion Prevention)

• Targets indicate that a runway closure is in
  progress.

• Targets prevent aircraft from landing or
  departing on a closed runway.

• If you do not see a target, assume the runway is
  active (open).

• Enter and exit the runway environment from the
  east or west end (Not mid-field)

• Do not use a closed runway to bypass service
  roads when transitioning across the airfield.
