Absence of holding instructions authorizes crossing of which taxi segments?

When you’re taxiing, you can only cross surfaces if ATC hasn’t told you to hold. If there are no holding instructions, there’s no protected point forcing you to stop at intersecting taxiways. So you may cross taxiway segments that intersect your taxi route, since there’s no hold position designated there. This does not apply to runways (which require a crossing clearance) or to hold lines themselves, and aprons involve different procedures. The key idea is that the absence of holding instructions removes the enforced stop at intersecting taxiways, allowing you to cross those intersections, with vigilance for other traffic.
