More information about destination signs can be found in the AIM:

AIM 2-3-11: Destination Signs

Similar to direction signs, destination signs have a yellow background and a black inscription which indicates a destination on the airport.

Common indicated destinations are:

  • Runways
  • Aprons
  • Terminals
  • Military areas
  • Civil aviation areas
  • Cargo areas
  • FBOs

Destination signs will have an arrow that points in the direction of the destination. An example of a destination sign that points towards a military area is below:
