GM1 ADR-DSN.L.560 Interruption of runway markings

(a)At an intersection of a runway and taxiway, the runway side stripe marking should be either continued across the intersection or interrupted. The interruption means one of the following:

(1)the runway side stripe marking stops at the point where the taxiway fillet starts at either side of the taxiway (see Figure GM-L-2(A)); or

(2)the runway side stripe marking stops at the point where the extended line of the taxiway edge crosses the runway (see Figure GM-L-2(B)); or

(3)the runway side stripe marking stops at a short distance on either side of the taxiway centre line marking in order to allow visible and continuous taxiway centre line marking guidance (see Figure GM-L-2(C)); or

(4)the taxiway centre line marking overlays and therefore interrupts a continuous runway side stripe marking (see Figure GM-L-2(D)). [Figure or form omitted from this preview — available in the Avioverse workspace library.] Figure GM-L-2. Illustration of runway side stripe marking interruption

(b)The overall perception of the runway side stripe marking depends on conspicuity needs and local conditions, such as the number, location and disposition of runway/taxiway intersections, nature of the surrounding terrain, operational needs at aerodrome, weather, etc.
