I'm interested in the term used for the marking at an airport that can
be viewed from overhead that indicates the traffic patterns for the
runways -

For the exams in the UK we have to learn about the signal square. The runway
in use is signfied by a 'T', with landings made in the direction running
from the base of the T upwards (so for a normal 'T' that would signify a
Northerly landing direction). There is also a 90 degree right hand arrow
that signifies if right hand circuits are in use (the norm is left hand).

I'm yet to land at a field without radio so haven't paid too much attention
to them thus far, and apparently they're gradually disappearing from use.
