High-speed taxiway

A long-radius taxiway designed and provided with lighting or marking to define the path of aircraft travelling at high speed (up to 60 knots) from the runway centre to a point on the centre of a taxiway. A high-speed taxiway is also referred to as a long-radius exit or turn-off taxiway and is designed to expedite aircraft turning off the runway after landing, thus reducing runway occupancy time.
