The absence of holding instructions authorizes crossing of which taxi segments?

When moving on the ground, you only stop or hold where ATC has given you an instruction or where a hold-short line is present. If there are no hold-short instructions at an intersection along your taxi route, you are allowed to cross the taxiway segments that intersect your route. These intersecting taxiways are the points where your path would cross another taxiway, and with no hold instruction, there’s no requirement to stop there. Crossing a runway is not authorized without explicit clearance, so runways and their hold lines remain restricted unless ATC specifically clears you to cross. Aprons aren’t the same as flight-tavored taxi segments you’re navigating; they’re areas for parking and loading, and crossing them generally requires clearances and taxi instructions. The key idea is that absence of holding instructions applies to intersecting taxiways, not to runways.
