Please let us know which airfields have this system.
This is the description from the AIP:
1) Stop Bar Lights are installed at each RWY holding position associated with RWY16L/34R
2) Stop Bar Lights will be operated when the visibility or the lowest RVR of the RWY16L/34R is at or less than 600m.
3) Stop Bar Lights on TWY C1, C2, C13 and C14 are controlled individually by ATC
4) Stop Bar Lights on TWY C3 THRU C12 are not controlled individually by ATC.
5) During the period Stop Bar Lights operated, TWY C3 THRU C12 are not available for departure aircraft.
