Narrative:

On rollout runway 4 at lex, taxi speed was too high to make turnoff at taxiway A4. Tower informed us to take the next right, which we understood to mean turn right on to runway 8/26. Tower then informed us that runway 8/26 was not stressed for our aircraft. This was after we had already turned right onto runway 8/26. By this time we were committed to continue down to end of runway 8/26 to make a right turn on taxiway a. There were no markings concerning weight restrs for this runway. Subsequent taxi to gate uneventful. One other note: when departing on runway 22, we have to taxi across runway 8/26 to get to runway 22.
