The width of Runway 28R is how many feet?

• A. 75
• B. 100
• C. 150
• D. 200

Answer: (D)

Runway width is the lateral distance from one edge of the pavement to the other, a fixed specification shown on the airport diagram. It matters because it tells you how much room you have for alignment, rolling out, and ensuring the aircraft stays within the pavement boundaries during landing or takeoff. For Runway 28R in this context, the width is 200 feet, a value typical of a major parallel-runway design that accommodates large aircraft and high-traffic operations. Wider runways like this provide more margin for error and safety. Narrower widths (such as 75, 100, or 150 feet) are found on smaller or less capable airfields and would not apply here.
