Narrative:
The marking leaving the ramp to the intersection of 36/18 and 06/24 are marked incorrectly. Upon approaching the hold short line; there is a sign that shows to make a half left turn to enter runway 18. In actuality; a half left puts you onto runway [24]. In low visibility the signs are very important. In this case they put me on the wrong runway. Thank goodness for my foreflight which was able to get me to the correct runway!
