Narrative:

The pit airport taxiway signage is poor. When taxiing from air carrier parking to south runways, taxiway C-2 has 1 sign until taxiway C. The intersection of C-2 and C is not marked. Taxiway C has no signs at any of the intxns until J. After landing on runway 32, taxiway P and right are poorly marked. Taxiway west and the intxns of west, T, and V are poorly marked. Many of the taxi signs are small and placed where they are difficult to relate to the respective taxiway. On the positive side, the many intxns of V and T are well marked. About 6 months ago, I wrote to safety department and complained of the signage. They said changes were planned, but nothing has been done.
