Narrative:

Upon being given ATC clearance to go to runway 9L for takeoff, I proceeded to that runway via taxiway Q. As I was 1000 ft away from taxiway M at runway 9L, I saw a faded yellow runway hold short line for runway 12. However, runway 12 was closed. I proceeded to slow down and look for hold short line for runway 9L. I stopped and traffic on runway 9L landed with no conflict. Tower cleared me into position and hold and then afterwards for takeoff. I believe that the taxiway markings between runways 12 and 9L in mia should be better marked.
