RUNWAY EXIT LIGHTS
5-3.1
Purpose
Runway exit lights may be added to long radius (high-speed) taxiway exits, or to short
radius (low speed) taxiway exits where there is a need to expedite movement of aircraft
off the runway. Runway exit lights may be installed with either taxiway edge or taxiway
centerline lights.

Configuration
5-3.2.1
Long Radius Exits
Long radius exit lights are installed on exits with radii exceeding 360 meters (1,200
feet). They consist of a line of uni-directional green taxiway centerline lights. The line
begins at a point which is a maximum of 1 meter (3 feet) off the runway centerline and
60 meters (200 feet) before the beginning of the taxiway centerline curve. The line of
lights runs parallel to the runway to the beginning of the taxiway centerline curve. It then
follows the taxiway centerline curve to a point which is a minimum of 60 meters (200
feet) beyond the beginning of the straight portion of the taxiway. The lights are uniformly
spaced at a distance of not more than 15 meters (50 feet). (See Figure 5-6.)
