Runway Status Lights: FAA Vehicle Operator Reference Guide
Runway Entrance Lights (RELs): This system is composed of flush mounted, in-pavement, unidirectional fixtures that are parallel to and focused along the taxiway centerline and directed toward the pilot at the hold line. A specific array of Runway Entrance Lights include the first light at the hold line followed by a series of evenly spaced lights to the runway edge; and one additional light at the runway centerline in line with the last two lights before the runway edge. When activated, these red lights indicate that there is high speed traffic on the runway or there is an aircraft on final approach within the activation area.
