Narrative:
The pavement markings indicating the intersection of runway 6/24 and taxiway alpha are faded and difficult to see clearly. The information signs indicating a taxiway/runway intersection are placed too close to the pavement which makes them difficult to see when taxiing in a nose-high aircraft. Pavement markings need to be repainted and signs should be placed further from the pavement.
