Narrative:
After landing on runway 2R, tower instructed to take any left at midfield. The first left I came to was runway 34. Soon after turning onto runway 34, I realized I was crossing runway 2L. There was no conflicting traffic and ground cleared us to taxi to the FBO. The unusual procedure of exiting onto another runway rather than a taxiway at a strange airport deprived me of taxiway signs and pavement markings warning of a nearby runway. Tower did not object to what I had done, so perhaps this was their intention. But it increased the opportunity for a runway incursion.
