Yellow paint on fender

Any pictures by chance?

I normally use some APC, dilute to what starts to work and a soft wash mitt to help remove the yellow paint.

I then follow with clay and polishing and a wax for the panel.
 
Laquer thinner always works well for me on paint transfers, Use a dry towel get the coner of it soaked in thinner and rub lightly till gone then polish and wax the spot you did it. Make sure you use laquer thinner not paint thinner.

I use LT on paint transfers but let me caution you on its use, the takes clear off pretty fast. I have found that Acetone works just as well and its A LOT easier on the clear. This truck was a customer that hit a can of blue striping paint, this was baked on for months before I got my hands on it

I should also add to the my process. I had two buckets one with soapy water and clean water, to rinse the wash mitt..I sprayed the area down then working in 12x12 inch areas, I used the Acetone on the paint, it start to remove the paint very quickly..Then I used soapy water to remove the Acetone and rinsed with a hose..This truck took me 6 hours to get everything off, the pic is only of one area, it spread all the way down the truck and on to the back bumper

The caution you need to use is on PLASTIC parts to not use Acetone or LT on any of that for that I used mineral spirits
 
You should contact the city and figure out which road crew or company was laying the paint, explain the situation and what it will cost you to get it fixed. Odds are pretty good that they'll reimburse you for expenses!
 
+1 on Acetone or even Prep Sol. We use laquer thinner at work (You'd just have to know my boss) and I can personally vouch for the damage it can potentially cause if used incorrectly. I personally like Prep Sol or Final Sol since its actually formulated as a body prep solvent.
 
This yellow paint has been on this truck for quite awhile, its hard telling when the stripes were laid or even where at. That would be nice though
