Runway exit signs are connected to the runway edge lighting series circuit. Other
lighted guidance signs as well as information signs are typically connected to taxiway
edge lighting circuits. This configuration permits the signs to be turned on and off with
the respective runway or taxiway lighting.

LOCATION SIGNS
9-4.1
Purpose
Location signs identify the taxiway or runway on which the aircraft is located. Examples
of location sign messages are shown in Figure 9-3.
9-4.2
Installation
Location signs are typically installed on the left side of a taxiway, but also may be on the
right side if this helps visibility. Often taxiway location signs are part of a sign array,
hence may be together with a mandatory hold sign or a guidance direction sign
(although not with a runway exit sign). Runway location signs may be installed on
runways where two runways are in proximity, which could create confusion, and are
located to clearly indicate the runways for pilots. Runway location signs are not part of a
sign array, and contain the runway designation only for the one runway end.
