PARALLEL RUNWAYS- Two or more runways at the same airport whose centerlines are parallel. In addition to runway number, parallel runways are designated as L (left) and R (right) or, if three parallel runways exist, L (left), C (center), and R (right).
parallel runways - Runways that are the same distance apart from each other at all points.

Faster, better real-time radar in place.
Monitoring frequency on plate below tower frequencies, one for each runway.

Most airports catering to general aviation, charter jets, and commercial airliners will often have parallel runways.
The heading is rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, and then the last digit is dropped. For example, a runway on a heading of 348 degrees would be assigned runway number 35. Parallel runways receive an additional letter 'L', 'R', or 'C', ...
