Narrative:
After takeoff runways 16, aircraft on approach to runway 34 1-1 1/2 mi out. Controller reported centerline approach by incoming aircraft. I was told to make a 30 degree turn to the left after takeoff, to which I responded, 'roger.' I was reprimanded for taking off on wrong runway by the controller. I was told I should have taken off on runways 12. I asked for an intersection takeoff. Nearest to the transient area parking, no visible markings for that intersection are visible in that area to advise runway 16-34 are adjacent. I was cleared for takeoff after holding for a commuter airline landing on runways 34. I should have been told to abort takeoff from the tower controller it I was in the wrong. I was bout 800' when I was told about incoming traffic. This was my first time at this airport, I believe ground and tower controller were not coordinating.

Title: GA SMA MADE TKOF FROM WRONG RWY AT RDD CAUSING MINOR CONFLICT WITH OPPOSITE DIRECTION TRAFFIC ON FINAL.
Narrative: AFTER TKOF RWYS 16, ACFT ON APCH TO RWY 34 1-1 1/2 MI OUT. CTLR RPTED CENTERLINE APCH BY INCOMING ACFT. I WAS TOLD TO MAKE A 30 DEG TURN TO THE LEFT AFTER TKOF, TO WHICH I RESPONDED, 'ROGER.' I WAS REPRIMANDED FOR TAKING OFF ON WRONG RWY BY THE CTLR. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF ON RWYS 12. I ASKED FOR AN INTXN TKOF. NEAREST TO THE TRANSIENT AREA PARKING, NO VISIBLE MARKINGS FOR THAT INTXN ARE VISIBLE IN THAT AREA TO ADVISE RWY 16-34 ARE ADJACENT. I WAS CLRED FOR TKOF AFTER HOLDING FOR A COMMUTER AIRLINE LNDG ON RWYS 34. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ABORT TKOF FROM THE TWR CTLR IT I WAS IN THE WRONG. I WAS BOUT 800' WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT INCOMING TFC. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME AT THIS ARPT, I BELIEVE GND AND TWR CTLR WERE NOT COORDINATING.
