Narrative:

Landed on runway 1 msy. First officer landed, slowed aircraft, made turn on runway 24 intersection. After I began to turn off, I noticed the area was marked as an overrun area/displaced threshold. I was already in the turn and used the area to transition to taxiway south. Tower had approved the turn onto taxiway south. No problems were encountered.
