Explanation
AIM 2-3-8 describes the runway/runway hold position sign as a mandatory sign installed on a runway where it intersects another runway, marking where to hold short of the intersecting runway (for example during LAHSO). The sign at a taxiway entrance to a runway is the runway holding position sign, and the protected approach/departure area is marked by the runway approach area sign.
