I-83 PA 1957 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker features a faithful reproduction of the original Interstate shield used to mark I-83 in Pennsylvania when the Interstate Highway System was first implemented in 1957. The design captures the spirit of early highway construction and the optimism of the era.

The Iconic Interstate Shield

The central element of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The familiar shape, a cutout form with its distinct angles, immediately signifies its purpose: to guide travelers along a designated Interstate highway. Its colors are deeply symbolic.

Color & Symbolism

The top band is a bold red, emblazoned with the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, conveying authority and standardization. The main field presents a deep blue background, providing a contrasting canvas for the large white numerals "83." This bold number clearly identifies the specific route. A clean white outline surrounds the shield, providing definition.

Adding historical context, the design incorporates "PENNSYLVANIA" which appeared on many of the original 1957 shields. This placement reinforces the location of the highway. Above the shield, a separate plate displays the route's direction—"NORTH / SOUTH" which helps drivers navigate the route. This further clarifies the role the sign plays in providing essential guidance to travelers.

The design, with its classic color palette and simple, readable layout, represents a pivotal moment in American infrastructure and the modernization of travel. This design embodies the spirit of exploration and connection, with the hope for improved travel in the mid-century era.

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.
