What is the maximum speed for any vehicle within 200 ft of parking Aprons?

• A. 10 mph
• B. 15 mph
• C. 20 mph
• D. 25 mph

Answer: (B)

Safety around parking aprons hinges on keeping speeds low so you can react to people, ground vehicles, and aircraft operations. Within 200 feet of parking aprons, the speed limit is fifteen miles per hour. That slower pace gives you enough time to spot someone crossing, a door opening, or equipment moving in your path, and it provides adequate stopping distance on apron surfaces that can be slick or crowded. Going faster than this increases the chances of an unintended contact with equipment or personnel and makes it harder to maneuver around parked aircraft safely. The other listed speeds are either unnecessarily slow for general apron traffic or fast enough to compromise safety in this busy area.
