Narrative:

At the end of runway 26; there is no yellow lead off line to turn northbound on to taxiway D. This makes it very difficult to find the turnoff at night; especially in rain. This also precludes an expeditious runway exit should the tower controller urge it. I request that this runway marking be brought to the attention of the airport manager. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
