Narrative:
In the southern half of the penalty box of mia; abeam Y1; on the asphalt; is an incorrect directional sign for Y1. The marking indicates that you must continue south to taxi to Y1; when in fact; you continue south for Y2. The location of the marking is incorrect and does not agree with the commercial charts; airport taxiway signs or reality. And yet it is highly visible and confusing. Please ask mia to correct this marking for Y1.
