What speed limit is enforced for vehicles traveling on taxiways?

The enforced speed limit for vehicles traveling on taxiways is 15 MPH. This speed limit is established to ensure safety and efficient operations on the airfield. Taxiways are areas where aircraft maneuver to access runways and other facilities, and maintaining a moderate speed allows for better control and quick response to any potential hazards. It also helps in minimizing the risk of collisions between aircraft and vehicles.

Additionally, a speed limit of 15 MPH strikes a balance; it's fast enough to allow vehicles to traverse the airfield effectively while also being slow enough to provide drivers with ample time to react to unexpected situations, such as the presence of personnel or other vehicles. This regulation is especially important in high-traffic areas where both aircraft and ground vehicles operate. Therefore, adhering to this speed limit contributes to overall safety and operational integrity on the airfield.
