Narrative:

Upon landing on runway 22L; I was told by tower to turn right to taxiway P and taxi northeast on taxiway P. I turned right onto the first high speed taxiway off of runway 22L; and was totally blinded by the evening sun. I could not see anything and was still trying to get stopped! As I started to turn right on what I thought was taxiway P; the sun was not as blinding and that was when I saw that I was about 1/4 - 1/3 way onto runway 22R. This runway was being used for takeoffs. I quickly looked up the runway. As an airliner had just been given a takeoff clearance; I had to do something. The tower frequency was loaded up but I tried but they did not hear me so I added power and quickly crossed runway 22R; as this would not endanger anyone. No evasive actions were required by the airliner; and they were able to make a normal takeoff. The tower was not even aware of what had happened until the airliner crew made a comment on the tower frequency that someone had crossed in front of them. I believe a note on the airport diagram about possible sun blindness would have given me a heads up on this problem of being blinded when turning onto the high speed taxiway.

Title: PLT OF CORPORATE JET EXITS RWY 22L AT THE HIGH SPD TXWY AND; BLINDED BY THE SETTING SUN; ENTERS RWY 22R WHERE ANOTHER ACFT HAS BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF. CORPORATE JET CONTINUES AND EXPEDITES ACROSS THE RWY.

Narrative: UPON LNDG ON RWY 22L; I WAS TOLD BY TWR TO TURN R TO TXWY P AND TAXI NE ON TXWY P. I TURNED R ONTO THE FIRST HIGH SPD TXWY OFF OF RWY 22L; AND WAS TOTALLY BLINDED BY THE EVENING SUN. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AND WAS STILL TRYING TO GET STOPPED! AS I STARTED TO TURN R ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TXWY P; THE SUN WAS NOT AS BLINDING AND THAT WAS WHEN I SAW THAT I WAS ABOUT 1/4 - 1/3 WAY ONTO RWY 22R. THIS RWY WAS BEING USED FOR TKOFS. I QUICKLY LOOKED UP THE RWY. AS AN AIRLINER HAD JUST BEEN GIVEN A TKOF CLRNC; I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THE TWR FREQ WAS LOADED UP BUT I TRIED BUT THEY DID NOT HEAR ME SO I ADDED PWR AND QUICKLY CROSSED RWY 22R; AS THIS WOULD NOT ENDANGER ANYONE. NO EVASIVE ACTIONS WERE REQUIRED BY THE AIRLINER; AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE A NORMAL TKOF. THE TWR WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE AIRLINER CREW MADE A COMMENT ON THE TWR FREQ THAT SOMEONE HAD CROSSED IN FRONT OF THEM. I BELIEVE A NOTE ON THE ARPT DIAGRAM ABOUT POSSIBLE SUN BLINDNESS WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME A HEADS UP ON THIS PROB OF BEING BLINDED WHEN TURNING ONTO THE HIGH SPD TXWY.
