What are the 2 types of holding position markings?

Holding position markings tell pilots where to stop to protect the runway and any ILS-related areas. There are two common types: standard and Category II. The standard holds are the familiar boundary you see before a runway, indicating you must stop there unless ATC clears you to cross. The Category II hold marking is used at airports with Cat II (and Cat III) instrument approaches to give additional protection for the ILS critical area during precision approach operations. In short, the two types are standard and Category II.
