Which sign denotes intersecting runways?

• A. Runway/runway hold position sign
• B. No Entry sign
• C. Outbound destination sign
• D. Approach slope sign

Answer: (A)

The sign that denotes intersecting runways is the runway/runway hold position sign. This sign is placed at the point where taxiways meet or cross another runway, signaling you must hold short of the crossing runway until you have clearance to proceed. It’s typically a red sign with white lettering, and it works in tandem with the pavement holding lines to mark the boundary where crossing the active runway is controlled.

Understanding why this is the right sign helps you read airfield layout quickly: it specifically marks where two runways intersect and where you need authorization before crossing, which is essential for preventing runway incursions.

The other signs serve different purposes. A No Entry sign means entry to that area is prohibited, not specifically about runway intersections. An outbound destination sign simply points you toward a taxiing destination, not about runway crossing. An approach slope sign indicates the required approach path or slope, not the intersection boundary.
