Narrative:

Was told to taxi to runway 14 at the huf hulman regional airport. This was the first time I had used this runway. It was just recently opened. In order to taxi to runway 14, you have to taxi over runway 18. I did not see the sign for the end of runway 18 and taxied 10 ft past the red hold line. I told the tower, they told me to proceed to runway 14. There was no conflict with other aircraft. It won't happen to me again. However I could see where there could be confusion for another pilot because of the closeness of the 2 runways.
