Confusing taxi instructions from ramp 'rk' captain turned right at taxiway right from Y and in error crossed runway 11/29 on right; cleared runway turned left on Z stopped aircraft at Z and south. Captain set brakes and confirmed with crew that we were in the wrong position; ensured pilot flying and pilot monitoring on same frequency.

Ground cleared us to 'taxi Z; U; rk cleared to cross runway 11/29 contact ramp.' after discussion and confirmation we taxied to [the gate] without further incident. Crew fully debriefed at the gate.contributing factors: poor communications in understanding ramp clearance (split radios) captain on ground; first officer on ramp; night time winter ops (with poor visibility icing; rain and mist); need additional taxiway signage in that area (very confusing low visibility); long crew day.
