Runway Stop Bar
Similar to runway guard lights, runway stop bar lights are in-pavement
lights on taxiways at intersections with runways. As opposed to RGLs
that provide warning to pilots approaching a runway, runway stop bar
lights are designed to act as “stop” lights, directing aircraft and vehicles
on the taxiway not to enter the runway environment. Runway stop bar
lights are activated with red illuminations during periods of runway
occupancy or other instances where entrance from the taxiway to the
runway is prohibited. In-pavement runway stop bar lighting is typi-
cally installed in conjunction with elevated runway guard lights located
outside the width of the pavement. An illustration of a typical runway
stop bar lighting system is depicted in Fig. 8-18.
