MN-244 Wide (Minnesota) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey

This vinyl kiss-cut decal captures the essence of the MN-244 "wide" road sign, a distinctive piece of Minnesota's highway history. The design represents a commitment to improved visibility and road safety, rooted in the post-1948 signage updates implemented across the state.

Design Elements and Meaning

The core of the design is a black rectangular background, the hallmark of the “wide” format, specifically engineered for clarity on faster or multilane roadways. This elongated shape immediately signals the sign's purpose: to command attention and convey critical information.

At the heart of the design, a white, horizontally stretched silhouette of the state of Minnesota stands out. This iconic state outline is immediately recognizable and serves as the primary identifier, anchoring the sign in its geographic context. The stretching, a characteristic of the "wide" design, subtly reinforces the intent of increased visibility.

Within the state's outline, the number "244" boldly appears in black digits, indicating the specific highway. The inclusion of the highway number is central, as it is the functional and informational heart of the design. The visual strength of the number contributes to immediate recognition and rapid interpretation, supporting the sign's primary objective.

The design, as a whole, is a symbol of efficient communication. It's a visual language of state identity, route designation, and a testament to the evolution of transportation design aimed at making roads safer and more navigable. The "wide" format, born from a desire for better legibility, makes this decal a nod to that vision.

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.
