Narrative:

Ventured onto runway 26L at publication. Runway is adjacent to taxiway separated only by yellow line. Never seen this before. Thought hold short line was for taxiway. They really need better signage. Only time I have ever seen this type of arrangement. There should have be a note or chart or something in ATIS warning pilots who are lot local.
