Narrative:

For a few years now; everyone I have flown with agrees that the taxiway designation signs are inaccurately labeled throughout the airport in mia. Look carefully at the portion of each sign that is supposed to label the specific taxiway. The side of each sign nearest to the actual taxiway should display the identifier (labeled with a letter(s)). In many cases; the designators are on the wrong side of the sign. I only ask this question because every other airport I've been to throughout the world is consistent; except for mia. Please take the time to look at this - it could be a serious safety issue for anyone who is not familiar with the mia airport.
