MUTCD-CA W46A (California) Road Sign Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal replicates the design of the MUTCD-CA W46A Chevron Alignment Sign, a critical warning sign used on California roadways. Its instantly recognizable appearance is designed for immediate communication, employing a simple yet effective visual language.

Shape and Color

The decal faithfully captures the warning sign's essential characteristics. It uses the standard diamond shape, outlined in a vibrant yellow. This prominent shape and color combination immediately draws attention, signaling the presence of a potential hazard or change in road conditions.

Artwork & Symbolism

The core element of the design is the black chevron arrow. This arrow, pointing to the right, is the visual key. Its shape and orientation vividly represent the direction of the upcoming curve or turn in the roadway's horizontal alignment. The chevron's design, using angled lines, conveys the sharpness and severity of the upcoming change in direction. The single chevron is the minimalist design for a single turn. The sign effectively uses visual language to guide drivers, allowing them to quickly understand the road's intended path and prepare for the necessary maneuver.

Meaning

The design clearly communicates the need for drivers to adjust their course. The arrow directs the driver's attention, and the sign serves as a visual guide to follow the correct path. This signage aids in enhancing road safety, helping drivers navigate curves and turns effectively.

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.
