Naming taxiway paths through junctions?

So I’ve seen it done a few different ways and any documentations seems to glass over this, but how should taxiway paths be named through junctions?

Say like Alpha crosses Bravo at a 90 degree angle, do the 4 junction paths get named? Is it split mid point along the junction lines?

In another example Alpha ends at Bravo in a 90 degree turn, what are the taxiway names through the turns?

Also, what about the path to the taxiway from the runway, does that get the taxiway name or stay unnamed?

Well, IRL the naming conventions of taxiway connectors can be a very interesting conversation and dynamic between the FAA and airport operations/management. Sometimes is not all that cut and dried.

Not sure where you are in the world and not to make your head hurt too much, but if you haven’t already seen this reference, here is the FAA’s Advisory Circular that covers signage standards… It covers the general concepts of naming, etc… I love how it says, “keep it simple and logical…” usually that does not fit with actuality with the FAA… lol.

I’m surprised I didn’t read that one already, lol. I’m in the US.

My question was more on the internal sim pathway names at junctions (basically any curved pathway), which just adds even more to the head hurt. :slight_smile:

So far I named the curves and split them down the middle, but perhaps they can be (or should be) unnamed? I guess it comes down to what is best for the AI and how it reads them.

On the airport design I just did, they didn’t have publicly published names, so I went over to the airport’s FBO and they didn’t even know. They were kind enough to take me for a drive around the taxiways. To my surprise things were a bit more random than what the FAA guidelines were suggesting.

Oh… sorry… I misread your question(s) and responded based on the more practical/technical.

Regarding consistency/compliance with FAA guidelines/standards, a lot depends on the airport. GA airport’s can get away with less stringent compliance with these kind of things but those of us at certificated commercial service airports, not so much. Much more strict compliance requirements.

I apologize for convoluting the situation based on your true need.

No need. The attached document was also of great help! Although I did see it switching around the taxi location from left to right, I thought it was always on the left or middle.

On the airport I’m working on, I’m trying to match what they have, although some of them I can’t quite figure out based on just aerial imagery.
