# CS ADR-DSN.D.295 Rapid exit taxiways

Certification Specifications and Guidance Material for Aerodrome Design (CS-ADR-DSN) — Issue 7 · Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 · EAR revision 13 Mar 2026

IR Implementing rule

## CS ADR-DSN.D.295 Rapid exit taxiways

(a) The safety objective of [rapid exit taxiway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/rapid-exit-taxiway) is to facilitate safe rapid exit of aeroplanes from a [runway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/runway).

(b) A rapid exit taxiway should be designed with a radius of turn-off curve of at least:

(1) 550 m where the code number is 3 or 4; and

(2) 275 m where the code number is 1 or 2;

to enable under wet conditions exit speeds of:

(i) 93 km/h where the code number is 3 or 4; and

(ii) 65 km/h where the code number is 1 or 2.

(c) The radius of the fillet on the inside of the curve at a rapid exit taxiway should be sufficient to provide a widened [taxiway](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/taxiway) throat in order to facilitate early recognition of the entrance and turn-off onto the taxiway.

(d) A rapid exit taxiway should include a straight distance after the turn-off curve sufficient for an exiting [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) to come to a full stop clear of any intersecting taxiway (Figure D-1).

(e) The intersection angle of a rapid exit taxiway with the runway should not be greater than 45°, nor less than 25° and preferably should be 30°.
