What should be a priority for ADP holders while driving airside?

The focus for ADP holders while driving airside should be on following all posted signage and regulations. This is critically important for safety and operational efficiency in an environment where aircraft and ground vehicles are in close proximity. Adhering to signage and regulations helps prevent accidents, ensures the smooth flow of operations, and maintains the safety of passengers and crew.

Airside areas are complex environments with specific traffic patterns and rules designed to promote safety. Regulatory compliance includes obeying speed limits, yielding to aircraft, and understanding the layout of taxiways and ramps. By following these directives, drivers contribute to a safe working environment that is essential in an active airport setting.

Maximizing speed could lead to dangerous situations, while avoiding communication with air traffic control can result in misunderstandings or accidents. Prioritizing personal convenience is not acceptable in an airside environment, as safety and protocol must always come first to protect all individuals involved.
