Narrative:

In preparation for a VFR flight from crg to sgj, I read the caption in the government southeast AFD for sgj, as I had not been there in a while. I noticed that runway 2 was open again, but only during daylight according to the AFD. Looking at the distance available on this runway and runway 6, I planned on using runway 31 as it is much more suitable for the type of aircraft I was flying, an AC500 commander. I obtained an airport advisory from unicom and was told runways 31 and 2 were active. I heard a cherokee in left pattern for runway 2 and I entered a left downwind for runway 31, making radio calls and sighting the other traffic for runway 2. As I turned final, I saw the cherokee still on downwind and elected to land and clear the intersection before he landed on runway 2. As I landed and passed runway 6 intersection, I looked left and saw the cherokee turning final. I made a left turn on the next marked taxiway, marked with a standard sign on the right side as 'D3.' a solid yellow line goes down the middle, and is bordered by blue lights, with the appropriate hold bars painted on it, but none on runway 31 to indicate you are approaching a runway. This taxiway D3 is actually runway 2 but is marked as a taxiway. Only from the air can you see the runway numbers! All the other indicators are of a taxiway. This is an extremely hazardous situation, as there is no note in the government charts or directories or NOTAMS to indicate that runway 2 and taxiway D3 are the same piece of pavement during the day! Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that he has not had a chance to speak with anyone at the airport regarding the situation. He has spoken to other pilots who have flown to that airport and they indicate that the runway was closed for a while and used as a tiedown area, then opened again and used as a runway and now is used as a taxiway at night. That is why all the taxiway marking and lighting is in place. However, there are no markings to indicate it is not to be used as a taxiway in the daytime, but is a runway. There is a rumor that runway 2 will be closed. Reporter concurs that would be the best solution, since runway 6 is available and is several hundred ft longer than runway 2. Reporter was referred to the hotline.

Title: PLT OF AN AC500 LANDS WITH TFC IN THE PATTERN FOR AN INTERSECTING RWY AND TURNS OFF AT THE TXWY TO AVOID THE SECOND ACFT. THE TXWY MARKED TURNS OUT TO BE THE RWY ON WHICH THE ACFT IS LNDG.

Narrative: IN PREPARATION FOR A VFR FLT FROM CRG TO SGJ, I READ THE CAPTION IN THE GOV SE AFD FOR SGJ, AS I HAD NOT BEEN THERE IN A WHILE. I NOTICED THAT RWY 2 WAS OPEN AGAIN, BUT ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT ACCORDING TO THE AFD. LOOKING AT THE DISTANCE AVAILABLE ON THIS RWY AND RWY 6, I PLANNED ON USING RWY 31 AS IT IS MUCH MORE SUITABLE FOR THE TYPE OF ACFT I WAS FLYING, AN AC500 COMMANDER. I OBTAINED AN ARPT ADVISORY FROM UNICOM AND WAS TOLD RWYS 31 AND 2 WERE ACTIVE. I HEARD A CHEROKEE IN L PATTERN FOR RWY 2 AND I ENTERED A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 31, MAKING RADIO CALLS AND SIGHTING THE OTHER TFC FOR RWY 2. AS I TURNED FINAL, I SAW THE CHEROKEE STILL ON DOWNWIND AND ELECTED TO LAND AND CLR THE INTXN BEFORE HE LANDED ON RWY 2. AS I LANDED AND PASSED RWY 6 INTXN, I LOOKED L AND SAW THE CHEROKEE TURNING FINAL. I MADE A L TURN ON THE NEXT MARKED TXWY, MARKED WITH A STANDARD SIGN ON THE R SIDE AS 'D3.' A SOLID YELLOW LINE GOES DOWN THE MIDDLE, AND IS BORDERED BY BLUE LIGHTS, WITH THE APPROPRIATE HOLD BARS PAINTED ON IT, BUT NONE ON RWY 31 TO INDICATE YOU ARE APCHING A RWY. THIS TXWY D3 IS ACTUALLY RWY 2 BUT IS MARKED AS A TXWY. ONLY FROM THE AIR CAN YOU SEE THE RWY NUMBERS! ALL THE OTHER INDICATORS ARE OF A TXWY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SIT, AS THERE IS NO NOTE IN THE GOV CHARTS OR DIRECTORIES OR NOTAMS TO INDICATE THAT RWY 2 AND TXWY D3 ARE THE SAME PIECE OF PAVEMENT DURING THE DAY! CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES THAT HE HAS NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE AT THE ARPT REGARDING THE SIT. HE HAS SPOKEN TO OTHER PLTS WHO HAVE FLOWN TO THAT ARPT AND THEY INDICATE THAT THE RWY WAS CLOSED FOR A WHILE AND USED AS A TIEDOWN AREA, THEN OPENED AGAIN AND USED AS A RWY AND NOW IS USED AS A TXWY AT NIGHT. THAT IS WHY ALL THE TXWY MARKING AND LIGHTING IS IN PLACE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO MARKINGS TO INDICATE IT IS NOT TO BE USED AS A TXWY IN THE DAYTIME, BUT IS A RWY. THERE IS A RUMOR THAT RWY 2 WILL BE CLOSED. RPTR CONCURS THAT WOULD BE THE BEST SOLUTION, SINCE RWY 6 IS AVAILABLE AND IS SEVERAL HUNDRED FT LONGER THAN RWY 2. RPTR WAS REFERRED TO THE HOTLINE.
