What does a Cat II holding position marking look like?

Explanation:
Cat II holding position markings are designed to be highly visible in low-visibility operations, showing exactly where aircraft must stop before a runway. The marking across the taxiway uses two solid lines, each 12 inches wide, that are parallel and perpendicular to the taxiway, spaced 24 inches apart. To boost conspicuity for Cat II/III conditions, there are two additional lines that connect these solid lines at regular 10-foot intervals, each also 12 inches wide. This creates a distinctive, highly visible pattern that meets Cat II/III standards. The other patterns—a single stripe, two dashed stripes, or solid lines without the connecting segments—do not provide the same level of visibility and do not meet the Cat II/III markings requirements.
