associated with a runway turn pad marking if the taxi guideline is required to intersect with a runway threshold (piano key) marking, a touchdown zone marking or an aiming point marking, provided that the taxiway guideline marking does not cross, or go in between any element of, the runway marking.

Note   Taxi guidelines must be used on aprons. See Division 5 of this Chapter.

8.37 Taxi guidelines on runways

       (1) Taxi guidelines on runways must not:

(a) merge with the runway centreline; or

(b) be marked over a runway marking.

       (2) As shown in Figure 8.37 (2), subject to subsection (3), a taxi guideline on a runway must run parallel to the runway centreline for a distance (D) not less than:

(a) for a code 3 or 4 runway — 60 m beyond the point of tangency to the curved section of the taxi guideline; or

(b) for a code 1 or 2 runway — 30 m beyond the point of tangency to the curved section of the taxi guideline.

       (3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a taxi guideline which, but for subsections (5) and (6), would:

(a) completely cross a runway; or

(b) enter a runway threshold.

       (4) If a taxiway intersects a runway, the taxi guideline must be offset by 0.9 m from the runway centreline marking on the taxiway side, as shown in Figure 8.37 (2).

       (5) For taxi guidelines that would otherwise require entry to the threshold of a runway, the guideline must terminate 0.9 m before the runway threshold marking.

       (6) Subject to subsection 8.15 (4), at a taxiway and runway intersection, the taxiway guideline must be marked across the runway.

Note   For precedence of taxiway versus runway markings, refer to subsection 8.15 (4).

8.38 Enhanced taxi guidelines

Note   For runways at international aerodromes intended for operations below 550 m RVR or where it is otherwise necessary to denote the proximity of a runway holding position, the use of enhanced taxiway guidelines is recommended.

       (1) Enhanced taxiway centreline markings may be provided on a taxiway, or on a runway, before a runway hold position, as shown in Figure 8.38 (1).

       (2) Enhanced taxi guidelines must consist of parallel yellow dashed lines along each side of the centreline:

(a) commencing 0.9 m from the runway hold position; and

(b) continuing along the taxi guideline, away from the runway, for a distance of 47 m.

       (3) The dashed lines must be:

(a) 3 m long; and

(b) not less than 0.15 m, nor more than 0.3 m, wide; and

(c) 1 m apart.
