What denotes the area occupied by parked aircraft?

The area occupied by parked aircraft is indicated by red and white lines on the airport tarmac. This is a standardized practice used to ensure that pilots and ground crew can easily identify where aircraft are permitted to park. Red and white markings provide a clear visual cue, distinguishing the parking area from taxiways and runways, which have different line markings.

In contrast, solid yellow lines typically denote taxiways or runway edges, while dashed lines are generally used to signify areas such as taxiway edges that can be crossed. An information sign, while useful for providing specific guidance or warnings, does not denote physical boundaries required for parked aircraft. The use of red and white lines is crucial to maintaining safety and organization around parked aircraft.
