Narrative:

Taxiing to runway 25L via taxiway M at mke. Taxied slightly past runway hold short line. Most of aircraft was behind the line. No conflict. Cause: 3 runways close to each other at approach end of runway 25L. Hold short line back on taxiway M which is parallel to runway 25L, not depicted on airport diagram. Unexpected location. First time on this runway. Was running takeoff checklist. Need wig-wag lights. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated the crew had not been to mke in a while and this was his first departure on runway 25L. He related the hold line they passed serves both runway 25L and runway 31 and is plainly idented with signs. Because the hold line is dual purpose, and due to the runway confign. It is located in a position somewhat distant from the approach end of the runway. Reporter suggests wig-wag lights be installed.
