Fast-lane slip road

Whilst I fully concur with our other colleagues on their translations, I would point out that they ONLY apply IF the text is referring to the runway part of the airport. If it refers to the access roads leading to, or in, the airport, i.e. for motor vehicles, then perhaps this would be better. Also depends if US or UK English required.

disagree Tom Bishop : It IS an airport and piste is the runway!
