Narrative:
We were cleared to 'taxi to runway 13.' I was the PF and, as is the practice of corporate flying, I was taxiing the aircraft. While I only have 65 hours in type, I have over 1100 hours of jet time and over 5900 total hours, so my experience level is good. We were completing the checklists as we were taxiing out and I reconfirmed with the captain that we were cleared to taxi to runway 13. Now I have never been to terre haute before (as far as I can remember) and I was unfamiliar with the runway layout and the fact that the departure ends of runways 18 and 13 are right next to each other. We taxied to runway 13 and held short of runway 13 and crossed runway 18 to do it. The signage was not very clear as to if we were to hold short of runway 18 for runway 13 or not. Also the ground controller only said 'taxi to runway 13.' it would have been much better if he said 'taxi to runway 13, hold short of runway 18.' we read back the 'taxi to runway 13' clearance as we should and that's the way we understood the clearance. The tower said to us that we had taxied onto runway 18, which the captain responded 'we were cleared to taxi to runway 13, which is what we did.' the tower said 'ok, that's no problem, cleared for takeoff.'

Title: CPR FLC TAXIED ONTO THE APCH END OF RWY 18 TO HOLD SHORT OF THE INTERSECTING DEP RWY 13.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO 'TAXI TO RWY 13.' I WAS THE PF AND, AS IS THE PRACTICE OF CORPORATE FLYING, I WAS TAXIING THE ACFT. WHILE I ONLY HAVE 65 HRS IN TYPE, I HAVE OVER 1100 HRS OF JET TIME AND OVER 5900 TOTAL HRS, SO MY EXPERIENCE LEVEL IS GOOD. WE WERE COMPLETING THE CHKLISTS AS WE WERE TAXIING OUT AND I RECONFIRMED WITH THE CAPT THAT WE WERE CLRED TO TAXI TO RWY 13. NOW I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO TERRE HAUTE BEFORE (AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER) AND I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE RWY LAYOUT AND THE FACT THAT THE DEP ENDS OF RWYS 18 AND 13 ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. WE TAXIED TO RWY 13 AND HELD SHORT OF RWY 13 AND CROSSED RWY 18 TO DO IT. THE SIGNAGE WAS NOT VERY CLR AS TO IF WE WERE TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 18 FOR RWY 13 OR NOT. ALSO THE GND CTLR ONLY SAID 'TAXI TO RWY 13.' IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF HE SAID 'TAXI TO RWY 13, HOLD SHORT OF RWY 18.' WE READ BACK THE 'TAXI TO RWY 13' CLRNC AS WE SHOULD AND THAT'S THE WAY WE UNDERSTOOD THE CLRNC. THE TWR SAID TO US THAT WE HAD TAXIED ONTO RWY 18, WHICH THE CAPT RESPONDED 'WE WERE CLRED TO TAXI TO RWY 13, WHICH IS WHAT WE DID.' THE TWR SAID 'OK, THAT'S NO PROB, CLRED FOR TKOF.'
