Narrative:
Taxied out of FBO to go to runway 26R, taxied onto road next to intersection D, and scraped wingtip, and approximately a 6 inch section of leading edge needs to have skin replaced due to small puncture. There needs to be signs put up on that roadway adjacent to taxiway D that says 'aircraft do not enter.' these signs have been put up next to roadway adjacent intersection C coming out of FBO because several aircraft have had accidents on the same roadway. This was told to me by operator of FBO, which led to the signs being put up previously on roadway next to intersection C.
