AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />Airfield Signage <br />1Y SA,N MARCOS <br />00 Jk I! G 4 u k INA I' A d R P <br />Proper airfield signage is essential for promoting good situational awareness and to <br />support pilot wayfinding as they taxi to/from the runways to other locations at the <br />airport. Currently, the airport has an illuminated sign system across the entire <br />airfield that generally appears to support proper wayfinding throughout the airfield <br />environment. <br />FIGURE 2-4 <br />There have been multiple <br />reports of pilots taxiing <br />northbound on Taxiway <br />Charlie adjacent to the <br />ramp and missing the <br />west -bound turnoff on to <br />Taxiway Alpha. Solutions <br />to this issue will be <br />evaluated in future <br />portions of this master <br />plan. <br />Another signage <br />consideration was noted <br />RUNWAY 17/35 - HOLD POSITION SIGNS <br />SAN MARCOS REGIONAL AIRPORT <br />at the approach end of <br />Runway 26 on Runway 17/35. According to AC 150/5340-18F, Standards for Airport <br />Sign Systems, runway hold position signs should be installed on both sides of a <br />runway at its intersection with another runway if either of the runways is used as a <br />taxiway. Runway 17/35 is typically used as a taxiway to reach the approach end of <br />Runway 26 as no taxiway exists to the Runway 26 end. Currently, only a single <br />runway hold position sign is installed on the north and south sides of Runway 17/35 <br />at its intersection with Runway 8/26. Runway hold positions signs should be <br />installed on both edges (eastern and western) of Runway 17/35 where it intersects <br />Runway 8/26. Figure 2-4 shows the locations where the additional signs should be <br />installed. This will be a consideration in the establishment of the future <br />development plan for the airport. <br />Inventory Chapter Page 18 of 52 <br />October 2020 <br />
