  Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Yellow Line
It was also the first line on the system to operate with one person transit operation (OPTO), with the motorman responsible for driving, working the door controls, and collecting fares (should no agent be on duty at Dempster), from the beginning of service (the Evanston Line began using OPTO a few years before).
The line typically operated single-car shuttle trains between Dempster and Howard, which was more than adequate to serve the largely-unpopulated land that surrounded most of the line at the time.
As the Yellow Line travels through Evanston, it is in open cut until reaching the southwest corner of the city, when it travels on an elevated sloped embankment.

In November 1981, eight employees of Yellow Bus engaged in a four-day strike to gain recognition for the Drivers, Chauffeurs and Helpers Local 639 (Local 639) as the employees' collective bargaining representative.
In January 1986, the district court granted a motion by Woodward and the union for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, except as to the award of $1,280 against Woodward for malicious destruction of property.
Although the union did not play a role in Yellow Bus's management, it was alleged to have influenced the employee's strike for recognition of the union, and that "is an activity sufficiently related to the company's ongoing role as a business enterprise and employer to establish the requisite nexus." Id. at 24a-25a.

The lines extend all the way to the edges of the canvas, almost giving the impression that the painting is a fragment of a larger work.
Although one is hampered by the glass protecting the painting, and by the toll that age and handling have obviously taken on the canvas, a close examination of this painting begins to reveal something of the artist’s method.
In painting, however, the lines are absorbed by the color planes; but the limitation of the planes show themselves as lines and conserve their great value.” In these final works, the forms have indeed usurped the role of the lines, opening another new door for Mondrian’s development as an abstractionist.

 Halfbakery: Measured Yellow Lines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
So the yellow lines are very likely to be far enough from intersections that persons who speed up enough to ensure they get through a changing light can probably be charged with SIGNIFICANTLY speeding over the limit.
The point is that painted yellow lines would effectively prevent the light dwell times from being changed and, so, I think many cities would opt not to paint them.
Add a red line farther back, so that if one hasn't crossed it when the light turns to red, driving at the speed limit means arriving at the intersection after it turns to green and no need to slow down.

Later the origin of the spectral types was found to be related to the temperature of the surface of the star: particular absorption lines can be observed only for a certain range of temperatures; because only in that range are the involved atomic energy levels populated.
Then, an absorption line at the given wavelength in a stellar spectrum shows that the element must be present.
Of particular importance are the absorption lines of hydrogen (which is found in the atmosphere of nearly every star); these are known as Balmer lines.

 Researchers Use $400,000 Grant To Study Yellow Highway Lines
Few drivers likely consider the importance of yellow pavement marking lines, even though yellow – unlike white -- lines indicate opposite-moving traffic and their distinctive yellow color is a part of the national traffic code.
The goal of the study is to develop recommendations for various highway and traffic-related agencies and provide a scientific foundation for national standards on pavement marking color, according to Tom Schnell, assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering and OPL director in the UI Center for Computer Aided Design.
For example, when manufacturers removed lead chromates from yellow pigments used in pavement markings some years ago, many of the substitute materials appeared white at night.

The couple said today that the proposed changes were a massive improvement on the yellow lines, and would definitely help business, and called for them to be introduced without delay.
