Philly airport gets green light on traffic lights
WASHINGTON (AP) - July 14, 2008
The list includes the installation at major airports of lights
that signal pilots when a runway is safe to enter.
The runway safety project involves lighting systems to be
installed at Philadelphia International Airport and 18 other
airports over the next three years.
The lights change color to signal when a runway is safe to enter
or cross.
The system of warning lights has been tested at the Dallas-Fort
Worth and San Diego airports.
Similar systems will be installed at:
Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport, Atlanta, Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Charlotte, North Carolina, Chicago-O'Hare, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, JFK, LaGuardia, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Newark, Orlando, Seattle and Washington-Dulles.
