Narrative:

After landing on runway 28 at cle I was instructed by tower to make a left turn on runway 18 and contact ground control. I did exactly that. In contact with ground control I was told to taxi down runway 18 and make a right turn on runway 23R, and then a right turn on romeo taxiway and to taxi to the ramp. I failed to notice in my taxi, runway 23R, as I approached it and inadvertently went past runway 23R, almost onto runway 23L which had traffic rolling out on it. An alert ground controller advised me to hold my position just before I rolled onto runway 23L where the other traffic was rolling out. I mistook runway 23L for runway 23R. Corrective action: I feel that if there were illuminated signs at the point where runway 18 intersects runway 23 left and right, this problem could have been prevented.
