Some FAA regions require that the controllers specifically state any
runways that need to be crossed, so you will never get a clearance as
simple as "Taxi to rwy 34" if that route takes you across a runway at
any point. We don't require that here in the Northwest Mountain Region.

Aren't we in the same region?

If at any point you come up to your assigned runway you may not cross
it.

Hm - I wonder how many people understand that you can't cross the assigned
runway to get to your taxi-to point (if, for example, your destination is on
its far side).
