"After the highway was paved, East County residents continued to be involved working on the highway. Two local farmers, Frank Knieriem and David Butler, painted the yellow center stripe from the Summit to Latourell by hand."

"Sometime between Rexford's innovative striping of the highway and 1954, the centerline color had changed to yellow. By 1958, the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads mandated white... But after only two years, the yellow lines were back - at least on the state highways."
