How do I place airport runways

After long time of not playing, i found this new "stable" version, and i'm playin it now.

but I forgot how to place airport runways properly :'( so my concordes sometimes just stuck and drop the p****engers directly into the airport stop tile instead of using runways..

how do I place the runways (one for arrival and one for departure) properly so that planes don't stuck or move in a weird zigzag way?

thanks in advance. i love simutrans.

Or like this one, making sure you use the traffic signals to ensure the planes take off and land on different runways.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

 When you are up to your backside in alligators, it is difficult to remind yourself that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.

Yes,  use the stop signs provided in the menu, as I said in my previous post. You put them on the left side (or oposite sides of the runway) of the plane. Or right side if your country differs.

If you enlarge my sreenshot you will see them.

Difficult to see, which Pak did you use??  In Pak128 one-way signs  can only be applied on the taxiways and they appear in the middle of them.

I used PAK64, but they are very similar and they DO go on the taxiways, but on one the stop sign will be right up against the runway, and on the other it will be slightly down from the runway. The planes will obey the stop sign. you will find that if you put both stop signs the same way the planes will either fly in circles or land directly on the terminal stop. If that happens just change one of the stop signs and the planes will take of and land on different runways. If you look closely at my screen shot you can clearly see the stop sign at the end of the right hand taxiway right up agains the runway.
