As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Crash, fire and rescue, or police motor vehicles and such
other equipment as the airport manager or Airport Commissioners may
designate as necessary to safeguard airport runways, taxiways, ramps,
buildings and other property.
Any person afoot.
Approved equipment normally operated by the airport owner,
its agents or under contract, fixed base operator(s), or other governmental
agencies performing official duties on landing areas, runways, taxiways
and peripheral roads for the servicing, maintenance and construction
of airport facilities and services or for the servicing of aircraft.
This definition shall include equipment owned and operated by a contractor
performing work on the airport under contractual agreement with the
Mauston - New Lisbon Union Airport Commission.
Every device in, upon, or by which any person or property
is or may be transported or drawn, excepting aircraft.
A.
No vehicle shall enter or be driven or operated upon any airport
runway, taxiway, ramp, tie-down area, or any area posted by signs
prohibiting the entrance thereon, except as provided herein.
B.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to emergency equipment
or service, maintenance, and construction equipment when engaged in
performing normal duties.
C.
Aircraft owners and operators may be granted authorization by the
Mauston - New Lisbon Union Airport Commission to operate a vehicle
to reach their own aircraft in a tie-down area or hangar. Because
there is only one access to the Mauston - New Lisbon Union Airport
and that access intersects and crosses ramp areas and some taxiways,
aircraft owners and operators that own hangars on the Mauston - New
Lisbon Union Airport may obtain blanket authorization to reach their
hangar with a vehicle by applying to the Mauston - New Lisbon Union
Airport Commission for such approval. All other authorizations granted
shall apply only to a specific need request. Unless specifically authorized,
aircraft owners or operators shall not drive on any runway, taxiway,
or ramp and shall proceed through the tie-down area at a speed not
to exceed 10 miles per hour. They shall not at any time park a vehicle
on any area used for the movement of aircraft.
No vehicle shall be driven upon any road within the perimeter
of the airport or upon other airport areas in excess of the speed
limit posted, nor shall the driver fail to adhere to any sign posted
to regulate vehicle traffic on or about the airport.
No pedestrian shall be allowed beyond the administration area
or upon the apron or aircraft tie-down area unless for the purpose
of embarking in or disembarking from an aircraft or unless authorized
by the Mauston - New Lisbon Union Airport Commission or airport manager.
Pedestrian traffic is prohibited on taxiways, runways, and outlying
areas of the airport, except for those employees of the airport, Cities
of New Lisbon and Mauston, county, state or federal government, or
contractors engaged in airport construction or maintenance work and
except as allowed in designated areas during fly-in plane shows or
other such events as authorized by the Mauston - New Lisbon Union
Airport Commission.
All vehicles parked on the airport shall be parked in designated
areas and in accordance with posted signs or other markings. The Mauston
- New Lisbon Airport Commission or agents of the Commission may move
or order the removal of any vehicle improperly parked at the vehicle
owner's expense.
