Taxiway

A taxiway is a strip of land on a (usually larger) airport, on which aircraft can roll (taxi) to or from a hangar, terminal, runway or other facilities. Taxiways may be hard, (often asphalt or concrete) or grass.

Taxiways are framed with blue lights, as opposed to the white lights of a runway
