Confusion; Situational Awareness
Deviation / Discrepancy - Procedural Clearance; Ground Incursion Taxiway
Airport; Human Factors
After cleared to cross runways 35C and 35L on Taxiway Zulu by the Control Tower; we were told to taxi to the ramp via Juliet; Yankee. We were not asked to contact Ground. We turned right to follow the arrow on the taxiway sign to Juliet; turned left on taxiway Yankee; and taxied to the ramp. As we turned onto the ramp; we saw a sign that said JY (Juliet Yankee; which intersected with Yankee from Zulu; which went to the ramp. Nobody said we had done anything wrong; nothing was said on the radio; but I found the signage very confusing at the Ramp with taxiways Juliet and Yankee right next to taxiway Juliet Yankee. I do not go to DFW often; but the taxiway naming in that area could be improved.
Flight crew reported a taxiway incursion at DFW airport and cited taxiway signage as a contributing factor.
