Narrative:

I have mentioned this issue before via safety report; and even after the completion of the construction on fll runway 10L/28R; the problem has still not been addressed or fixed. Fll taxiway tango and taxiway bravo lack proper signage for the crossing taxiway T1. Whether traveling east or west on taxiway tango or taxiway bravo; there is inadequate signage for the crossing taxiway T1. If you taxi an aircraft or vehicle on either taxiway tango or taxiway bravo; there are no signs along the path that are positioned to identify taxiway T1. All the rest of the crossing taxiways (T2; T3; T4; etc.) have proper signage; but not taxiway T1. I am not sure how it has escaped the attention of the FAA all these years. Hopefully; it does not fall in the category of 'it's always been this way; and that everyone; of course; knows through experience; that the unmarked taxiway is T1.' there is a T1 sign as the jet is facing south; but not if the jet is facing east or west. Before the new terminal (gates A3; A4; A5; A6; etc.) was built; aircraft did not travel east/west on taxiway tango or taxiway bravo east of T1; so there may have been no need for the T1 signage. However; now aircraft do travel east and west on taxiway tango and taxiway bravo in the vicinity of crossing taxiway T1. Bottom line; it would be nice to have appropriate signage for taxiway T1 visible while taxiing east or west on taxiway tango or taxiway bravo in the vicinity of taxiway T1. The risk of not having the proper signage is possible pilot errors in following the assigned taxi instructions or hold short instructions from ATC. Thank you for considering this modification to the signage in fll.
