Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Runway Status Lights (RWSLs)

LAX Runway Status Lights (RWSLs) are operating. RWSLs are red in−pavement lights that serve as warning lights on runways and taxiways indicating that it is unsafe to enter, cross, or begin takeoff on a runway when illuminated.

Note: RWSLs indicate a runway’s status only, they do not indicate clearance. Pilots and vehicle operators are required to receive a clearance from air traffic control before proceeding.
