As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AFTER BEING CLEARED BY GROUND CONTROL THE PILOT DEPARTED THE RAMP TO THE NORTH. AT THIS POINT HE DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS ON AN ACCESS ROAD THAT IS PARALLEL TO THE TAXI WAY. DURING THE TAXI ON THE ACCESS ROAD THE AIRCRAFT HIT A YIELD TO AIRCRAFT SIGN WITH ITS LEFT WING TIP. THE PILOT REALIZED HE WAS NOT ON THE TAXI WAY AND CONTACTED GROUND CONTROL FOR DIRECTIONS.
