Captain reporter thought the turn off taxiway was at the end of the runway when it was just short of the end. Reporter believes better lighting and turnoff lights would help. Tower cleared the aircraft onto the paved safety area which is not for operational use, but because aircraft were landing behind reporter, had to clear the runway.

Narrative:
After landing on runway 9R at ord, we rolled to the end and missed right turn on taxiway south. Stopped on runway and tower advised us to continue into paved safety area and make left turn. Aircraft were landing behind us. Error caused by captain thinking taxiway south was at the end of runway 9R. Better lighting and green turnoff lights would help greatly.
