What is the typical speed limit in most areas of the airfield?

The typical speed limit in most areas of the airfield is 15 mph, which is established to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and aircraft. This reduced speed limit allows drivers to maintain better control of their vehicles while navigating the often busy and potentially hazardous environment of an airfield. Lower speeds help to accommodate unexpected situations, such as aircraft movements, personnel working in the vicinity, and other vehicles.

Moreover, the airfield is a dynamic environment where quick reactions are sometimes necessary, and adhering to a lower speed limit minimizes the risk of accidents and facilitates a safer atmosphere overall. The 15 mph limit is designed to balance operational efficiency with the critical safety needs of all airfield users.
