Where are Cat II holding position markings located?

Cat II holding position markings are placed a specific distance from the runway centerline to provide safety margins for precision approach operations in low-visibility conditions. The standard distance is at least 400 feet from the runway centerline. This spacing protects the ILS critical areas and approach lighting, giving pilots and air traffic control enough room to manage taxiing and clearance without encroaching on the approach path. Distances closer than 400 feet would reduce that protection, which is why the other options aren’t correct.
