Vehicle Roadway Markings
These markings are used to define a roadway for vehicle operations on or crossing areas that are also intended for aircraft. These markings consist of white solid lines on each edge of the roadway and a dashed line to separate lanes on the roadway. Zipper markings are sometimes used in place of solid lines to delineate the roadway edges.
These pathways are not intended for aircraft. It may seem silly to say, but I have stories of people who have made this mistake.
VOR Receiver Checkpoint Markings
VOR receiver checkpoints are located at some airports to allow pilots to check the accuracy of their VOR receivers. In order to perform the checks, the pilot is required to position the aircraft at a certain spot on the airport surface. These spots are marked with a painted circle with an arrow in the middle. This arrow is aligned in the direction of the checkpoint azimuth to better aid the pilot in the identification of the correct position to perform the checks.
Nonmovement Area Boundary Markings
At controlled airports, the airport surface area is split into the movement and nonmovement areas. The movement area is the control tower's area of jurisdiction, so a taxi clearance is required prior to entering the movement area. In the nonmovement area, however, you may move the airplane without clearance or communications with the control tower.
The nonmovement area boundary markings consist of two yellow lines, one solid and one dashed, which delineate the movement area.
