Yellow paint for STOP legend?

[sdmichael]

I was watching the A-Team and I noticed a STOP legend painted yellow instead of white. This was in the Los Angeles area in the 1980's. Was this a standard?

Being an L.A. native, I'd never seen such a thing.

[sdmichael]

I hadn't seen it either, hence the question.

If you mean painted on the street, yellow is common in New England, if I remember correctly.

Would this have been in a school zone?

The STOP and line were painted yellow... I do not know if this was a school zone, it looked more industrial, possibly in the Sylmar/San Fernando area.

Beats me.  If "STOP" is painted on the pavement around here, it's in white.  That is, if it even is painted at all.  I remember seeing yellow crosswalks in school zones in California (without knowing what they were until well after I saw them).
