Multiple Taxiway Direction Signs (Collocated with Taxiway Location Sign) Usually located next to or in an array with a taxiway location sign, these yellow signs indicate the name and direction of intersecting taxiways. Ref. AIM Para. 2-3-9/10

Different Taxi Routes to Multiple Destinations When a sign shows two or more destinations that are reached by different routes, the destinations are separated by a vertical black bar, and each has its own arrow. In many cases the destinations are runways, but the same type of sign can be used for other destinations. Ref. AIM Para. 2-3-11

Common Taxi Route to Multiple Destinations When a sign shows a common taxi route to two or more destinations, it includes an arrow and a “dot” between the individual destinations.

Runway Holding Position Sign at Takeoff End Where a taxiway meets a runway at its takeoff end, only that runway is identified on the sign (i.e., the reciprocal runway isn’t named). However, both runways (e.g., 3-21) would be identified on the sign whenever a taxiway crosses the runway at the runway end. Ref. AIM Para. 2-3-8-b-1-(a)

Runway Holding Position Sign (Collocated with Taxiway Location Sign) Located next to the yellow holding position surface marking on taxiways for taxiway/ runway intersections. This sign is often collocated with a taxiway location. In this example, the threshold for Runway 21 is to the left and the threshold for Runway 3 is to the right. Aircraft may not move beyond this sign/ marking unless instructed by ATC at towered airports, or by ensuring adequate separation of aircraft at non-towered airports. Ref. AIM Para. 2-3-8-b-2
