Runway is a term used to describe the paved surface of an airport that aircraft use for takeoff and landing, and is usually made of asphalt, concrete, or gravel and must be strong enough to support the weight of large aircraft. The length and width of a runway depend on the type of aircraft it will accommodate, and are typically marked with painted lines, numbers, and arrows to indicate direction. In addition they can surrounded by lights that help pilots identify their position in relation to the runway during night landings. Runway safety is paramount; therefore airports have strict rules about how close other vehicles can get to them while they are in use.
