Standard taxi 'East route' for Runway 25R at PHX Jeppesen page contradicts itself. Hold Short column says 'D' and beneath it says 'Do not hold short unless instructed.' Recommend reformatting to align with other airports (Example: DFW standard taxi routes leave the hold short column blank if only expected to hold short of runway--Jeppeson). Consider deleting the comment; 'Do not hold short unless instructed' or moving it to the remarks column.When given the East Route leaving PHX we stopped short of taxiway delta; checked in with the PHX Tower Controller; and he advised us we only need to hold short of the runway but stated; 'the last 100 aircraft stopped short of Taxiway Delta.' Obviously the pages are not clear to many pilots. The Tower Controller requested we get it clarified. Poorly written standard taxi procedures. Standardize PHX pages with other airports considering human factors.
Air carrier pilot reported the standard taxi chart at PHX airport needs reformatting to conform with other airport standard taxi charts.
