Narrative:
Cleared to taxi to runway 04. Departed ramp on taxiway K. First officer and ground control questioned taxi route so I stopped aircraft short of restr taxiway. I decided to have aircraft pushed back by company tug rather than turn around on narrow taxiway. To preclude future occurrences, suggest taxiway billboards, full taxi clrncs and notes on page 11-0. Pilots should refer to all airport pages. Supplemental information from acn 341380: taxi off ramp at fay via taxiway K, taxi instructions 'taxi to runway 04, exit ramp at taxiway K.' started to use taxiway K to cross runway 10 or taxi via runway 10 to runway 04. Entered intersection, ground called, questioned taxi route. We were almost on taxiway K which cannot handle aircraft over 60000 pounds. Captain stopped aircraft too far into intersection to turn back. Got company tug to come out and push aircraft back in to turn on parallel taxiway. No damage to aircraft. No damage observed to taxiway.
