One would think that a yellow line in front of you should be a clear indication that you are still on a taxiway, but
when confronted with signage that isn't exactly clear on directions,

FAA signage is limited and rather clear. If you have problems reading
it, you should study your AFD or airport diagram BEFORE entering the
movement area, or find an instructor or experienced pilot to help you.
You can have all your FAA regs and definitions down pat, but, a pilot
who can't interpret the signs or stay on the taxiway is dangerous.

Other than the AIM, which is obvious, here are some great resources
for students and other pilots:

http://www.faa.gov/airports/runway_safety/quiz/ -- FAA
material.
http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications...RWcards_lo.pdf --
AOPA flashcards. The FAA distributes these as well.
http://www.airnav.com/airports/ -- Airport diagrams

A professional pilot will have studied the airport diagram and will
already be familiar with the most likely routes to the active runway,
or to parking.

Perhaps in your role as SuperPilot, you are able to define with great
perception the myriad of signs, lines, planes, air socks, landings,
t/os, radio commo and dozens of other assorted flailings to your visual,
audio and emotional acuities.

The remainder of the world even experienced pilots hacve issues with
them.

Answering like a textbook to a real life, real problem, reality is like
having someone recite surgical procedures over the intercom into the
operation room. Sounds like a decent idea, sucks large tomatoes as you
cut someone open.

Think about it.
