N-135 (1950) Nebraska Road Sign Decal: Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal recreates the iconic N-135 Nebraska state highway road sign, as it would have appeared around 1950. The design is a faithful representation of mid-century highway signage, capturing the aesthetic of a bygone era in American road travel.

Design Elements

The central element of the design is the bold black lettering and numbering set against a white or light-colored background. This stark contrast ensures optimal visibility, a crucial factor in the sign's original purpose of guiding motorists on their journeys. The "N" signifies that this is a Nebraska state highway, while the number "135" identifies the specific route.

The shape of the sign is rectangular or shield-like, a common form factor for road signs of this period. The use of a simple, uncluttered design and bold typeface is characteristic of the mid-20th-century emphasis on clarity and legibility in highway signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific piece of Nebraska's transportation history. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when the state highway system played a vital role in connecting communities and enabling travel across the state. The sign symbolizes the spirit of exploration and the open road, echoing the era of classic American road trips.

Beyond its literal function, the sign's design also reflects the standardization efforts of the time, where clear communication was crucial in the emerging highway network. It stands as a graphic testament to an efficient and streamlined system that helped drive commerce and connect local areas.

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.
