Narrative:

Cleared to taxi via taxiway C to runway 22R. Turned left on taxiway east instead of taxiway za. Signage is not clear. The sign indicating an intersection turn to runway 22R strongly suggests that the left turn should be at taxiway east. Suggest a sign indicating that taxiway east is the route to runway 22L and marking the pavement. There were no conflicts and the somewhat longer taxi to runway 22R was uneventful.
