Airport Sign
Shape: Rectangle or square · Colour: Blue background
An airport is nearby or accessible in the indicated direction.
What It Means
Airport direction signs guide drivers to airport terminals, cargo areas, and drop-off/pick-up zones. Near airports, traffic management is complex — multiple lanes, pedestrian crossings for travellers with luggage, and strict no-stopping zones near terminal entrances. Most major Indian airports have designated drop-off and pick-up bays away from the terminal to prevent congestion.
📍 Where You'll See It
On approach roads to cities with airports and on road exits directing to airport premises.
✅ What You Must Do
Follow airport signage for the correct terminal and zone (domestic/international/cargo). Use designated drop-off zones. Do not stop on approach roads or terminal frontages.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Stopping on the approach road to the terminal to wait for a passenger call — this causes severe congestion and may attract a fine from airport security.
⚖️ Legal Note
Stopping in airport no-stopping zones: Airport authority and state traffic police fines. Rates vary by airport.
