CENTENNIAL AIRPORT’S VEHICLE SAFETY RULES

In order to provide and maintain a safe and secure Airport Operations Area (AOA), the Airport Authority requires that at all times, vehicle operators adhere to these basic vehicle safety rules:

1. Vehicles may not exceed 20 miles per hour on the AOA.
2. Vehicles entering the AOA must be registered with the Airport Authority and display a silver and blue Airport decal on their rear window.
3. Persons may not loan their gate card(s) to another party, nor may they bring unauthorized vehicles onto the AOA.
4. Unless approved or escorted by Airport Operations, motor homes and trailers of any kind are not permitted on the AOA. In addition to posing a hazard to taxiing aircraft, trailers can cause access gates to close prematurely, possibly resulting in damage to your vehicle and trailer or the access gate itself.
5. Vehicles may never pass around an operating aircraft, except to the rear.
6. Vehicles may not follow a taxiing aircraft closer than 100 feet.
7. Vehicles must always yield to aircraft on the AOA. Also yield to pedestrians and emergency equipment.
8. Vehicles parked in non-hangared tied downs should be parked between the tie down cables parallel to other aircraft. Please do not park in other tenant’s tie down spots or block access to someone else’s aircraft. DO NOT PARK WITHIN THE OBJECT FREE AREA.
9. Vehicles are not permitted on the west ramp taxilane between A-1 and A-8 or the south ramp taxilane between C-1 and C-8, unless going directly to your aircraft. Please follow the painted vehicle access road.
10. All vehicle operators are required to comply with the directives of Airport Authority personnel.

Please obey all traffic signs. We appreciate your cooperation in following these rules while operating your vehicle on the AOA. Doing so contributes greatly to your safety and that of others. Should you have any questions, please contact Airport Operations at 303-790-0598.
