Narrative:
Pushed back from gate xx and was cleared to taxi to runway 28. Captain taxied west around fire station and mistook taxiway east for taxiway P/P1. We realized our mistake but it was too late to stop and entered runway 28. We had cleared (looked for traffic) as we crossed and the only traffic was taxiing towards the approach end of runway 28. The traffic was not on the runway and was no conflict. The runway and taxiway markings at this location taxi east/runway 28, taxiway P/P1/runway 4 are somewhat confusing and have been a problem in the past for others (we were told).
