In the image below, you can see a visual of the new runway (in red) which will be constructed at the Prague airport.

I understand the need of multiple crossings, but one thing I don’t realize is the side pathway you can see on the left side, where when departuring from the airport, you can turn right, away from the runway. I am talking about the green circled part specifically. What purpose does it have?
In: Engineering
there’s many exits from a runway because different planes will take a different length of the runway to land due to their size and speed
the more options there are to exit the runway, the more efficient the runway can operate because smaller planes can exit sooner instead of having to go all the way to the end. since the runway is then empty, the next plane can then take off or land instead of waiting for the other plane to go all the way to the end and exit
I also think you may be asking about the long runway-ish looking taxiway. if you look in the lower right corner of the picture, there are other hangars. so the exits on the other side are so that you can get over to those presumably private hangars or private plane terminal. it’s so that runway is completely connected to the rest of the airport, which is more than just the main public terminal near the top
