CRJ200 CAPT RPTS CONFUSION WITH TXWY CHARTING AT SDF; AND A LACK OF SIGNS FOR TXWY K.

Narrative

AFTER LNDG ON RWY 17L WE CLRED THE ACTIVE AT D3. AFTER CLRING; GND CTL INSTRUCTED US TO TAXI VIA DELTA AND HOLD SHORT OF TXWY KILO. THE TAXI WAS BRIEFED AS 'DELTA HOLD SHORT OF TXWY KILO.' AS WE APCHED G6 INTXN AN MD88 WAS HOLDING SHORT OF THE RWY. THE ARPT PROFILE SHOWS TXWY DELTA CONTINUING AROUND THE CORNER AND STOPPING AT AN INTXN WITH TXWY NOVEMBER. WE CONTINUED AROUND THE CORNER SINCE NO SIGNAGE ADJACENT TO TXWY DELTA; PRIOR TO THE D6 INTXN; SHOWED AN INTXN WITH TXWY KILO. THERE WAS SIGNAGE FOR TXWY NOVEMBER AND PAPA; HOWEVER; THERE WAS ANOTHER ACFT TAXIING TO TXWY KILO TOWARDS THE RWY. SINCE WE HAD TURNED THE CORNER WE WOUND UP FACING EACH OTHER WHICH IS WHAT GND CTL WAS TRYING TO AVOID. LUCKILY THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR US TO PULL OVER TO THE L ON TXWY NOVEMBER AND ALLOW THE ACFT TO PASS. AS WE CONTINUED TO THE GATE WE SAW SIGNAGE FOR TXWY KILO ON THE N SIDE OF THE TXWY. PERHAPS THE MD88 HAD BLOCKED A SIGN FOR TXWY KILO AND WE COULDN'T SEE IT. BUT THE CHART FOR SDF IS A LITTLE MISLEADING.
