#### Adjacent areas
To increase the level of safety of flight operations, airports have to install a number of so-called *adjacent areas* around runways. In particular, a distinction is made between the following adjacent areas for runways: (i) runway shoulder, (ii) runway strip, and (iii) runway end safety area (RESA):

* Adjacent areas to runways
* Runway markings
* Runway lights
* Obstacles
* runway shoulder,
* runway strip,
* runway end safety area (RESA)


Some adjacent areas can be provided

* clearway
* stopway


#### Runway markings
