Narrative:
When taxiing northbound on taxiway Z, signage is non-existent. Could comprise a safety hazard. No red sign, indicating a crossing of runway 23L (noticed). No sign denoting crew is entering/established on taxiway Z (noticed). After passing runway 23L northbound, no sign confirming crew still on taxiway Z, which leads to runway 23R (certain of this). At termination of taxiway Z, no sign to confirm crew has reached runway 23R. (Certain of this). Looks simple, but try it at night in a rain shower.
