Taxiway Identification and Sign & Marking Plan Development and Implementation Best Practices
Joseph R. Shell, C.M.Delta Airport Consultants, Inc.
Key Components of an Effective Taxiway Identification and Sign & Marking Plan
• Correctness of existing information Your plan is only as good as the information you gather
• Adherence of planned development to advisory circularsDevelop a culture of verification
• Consistency and clarity of plan draftingIf it can not be read - it can not be reviewed
Correctness of Existing Information
• Use recent aerial photo & planimetrics
• Obtain recent photo of each sign
• Note differing types of pavement
• Note condition of existing markings and signs
Adherence of planned development to advisory circulars
• AC 150/5340-1K, Change 1 Standards for Airport Markings
-Runway Threshold Markings 20 feet from Runway Threshold
-Runway Center Line Marking constraints
-Holding Position Markings extend beyond Edge Stripe
-Holding Position Markings on shoulder - ADGs V and VI
-Center Surface Painted Marking - ADGs I and II

Adherence of planned development to advisory circulars
• AC 150/5340-18F, Standards for Airport Sign Systems
-Vehicle roadway/runway holding position sign (still not finalized by the FAA)
• AC 150/5345-44J, Specifications for Runway and Taxiway Signs
-Contains the characteristics for lighted and unlighted signs
Consistency & Clarity of Plan Drafting
• Create a single digital file to avoid errors
• Complete plan in color to match filed conditions
• Use hatch on all pavements
• Create dynamic blocks/library of parts
• Design for multiple uses
