Narrative:

The falcon was taxiing west on taxiway east approaching runway 14. I told the falcon to enter runway 14; followed by an immediate right turn on taxiway D. The falcon missed his turn; but did not enter runway 18. This is a confusing interchange and quite a few pilots don't make the immediate right turn. A taxiway should be built to connect taxiway east and taxiway D; so they do not have to enter runway 14 at all.
