Tried every single google search I can think of and nothing.

I just moved offices and the new place is a back street off of a back street (just wide enough for two cars) between two buildings.

It's a dead end with a faded solid yellow line right down the middle of it, not even a proper road more like rough grey concrete with no other markings or street furniture.

Have you got a google streetview of it?
Maybe the line painters just ran out of white paint, or new political correctness rules mean it's racist to have only white lines in the middle of roads.

It means the road isn't actually a road but is in fact a taxi way for planes at an airport.

I can't imagine that's a public highway so standard road markings do not apply.

Yellow lines are used as "temporary" road markings either when there are roadworks so traffic is diverted from its usual lane, or when a road is not quite finished yet, the latter seems to be the case with the OP's road.
