Narrative:
Air carrier X was cleared to taxi to runway 28L. The pilot taxied beyond taxiway D and onto runway 23. There was no conflicting traffic. This has occurred to me at least 3 times in the last 5 weeks. If it is happening to me this often, imagine how often it must be happening. I am also aware of 2 instances where an aircraft attempted takeoff on runway 23, thinking they were on runway 28L. There is confusion with the signage in this area.
