Narrative:
While taxiing for departure, lighting and markings at the airport combined with poor progressive instructions, I ended up taxiing beyond the hold short line. As soon as I realized that I was not in the correct place, I advised ground control. She had me continue to taxi onto the runway and clear at the next exit to the left. She also told another approaching aircraft to be prepared to go around. (That was not necessary.) the next attempt to get me to the desired runway went without incident. The controller's comment to me was that I was not the only pilot to have trouble taxiing to that runway at that particular intersection. Azo needs to improve instructions given to pilots and improve markings and lighting.
