Are pedestrians allowed to walk on the runway?

Pedestrians are not allowed to walk on the runway; they must stay in designated areas. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of both ground personnel and air operations. Runways are critical areas where aircraft take off and land, and the presence of pedestrians poses a significant risk of accidents.

Designated areas, such as sidewalks and designated pedestrian pathways, are created to keep individuals safe while providing access to necessary locations around the airfield. By enforcing strict rules for where pedestrians can walk, airfield operations maintain clear and safe environments for aircraft movements. Following these guidelines is essential for preventing incidents and accidents in high-traffic areas.
