constructed for other reasons. The configurations for a 90° exit and
other common taxiway intersection configurations are illustrated in
Fig. 6-35. The dimensions labeled in Fig. 6-35 are determined by the
aircraft design group of the design aircraft. These dimensional stan-
dards are provided in Table 6-23.

Location of Exit Taxiways
The location of exit taxiways depends on the mix of aircraft, the approach
and touchdown speeds, the point of touchdown, the exit speed, the rate
of deceleration, which in turn depends on the condition of the pave-
ment surface, that is, dry or wet, and the number of exits.
