I-70 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) Sticker Design

This sticker presents a unique visual concept: a fictionalized I-70 Pennsylvania road sign rendered as if it were using metric measurements. The design plays on the historical absence of metric signage on U.S. Interstates, particularly I-70 in Pennsylvania.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the iconic Interstate shield. It's instantly recognizable with its bold red, white, and blue colors, and the prominent "70" in a white sans-serif font. The artwork subtly subverts this familiar design. Instead of the typical miles, distances are displayed in kilometers, signaling the "metric" concept.

The overall aesthetic would likely mimic the official Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) signage style, using standard road sign fonts and layouts. The presentation aims to be visually consistent with the official signs but with the metric unit alteration.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's core meaning is a playful commentary on the United States' limited adoption of the metric system on its road infrastructure. It symbolizes the unrealized possibility of metrication within the context of interstate travel. The sticker becomes a visual joke, a "what if" scenario applied to the otherwise pragmatic world of highway signage.

The sticker could be interpreted as a nod to both the history of attempts at metric adoption and the ongoing legacy of the familiar imperial measurements used on American roadways. It’s a statement of place, Pennsylvania, and a unit, the kilometer, in a context where those two rarely meet.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
