When confirming your position on a sign, what does it indicate if it refers to runway 22?

When a sign refers to runway 22, it indicates that you are approaching or are on the taxiway leading to that specific runway. Signs are critical in aviation for navigation and situational awareness, and a sign that points to runway 22 serves the purpose of directing pilots toward the taxiway that accesses that runway.

This means it is not about being on runway 22 itself or departing from it, nor is it indicating a specific routing to the runway. Instead, it highlights the taxiway that leads to the runway, providing clarity and guidance for safe movement on the airfield. Understanding this helps pilots maintain situational awareness and follow proper taxiing procedures in busy air traffic environments.
