N-174 1950 (Nebraska) (Road Sign) Sticker: Design Description

This sticker recreates the classic design of the N-174 road sign, as it would have appeared on Nebraska's state highways in 1950. The artwork directly reflects the postwar updates to the state's signage, signifying a commitment to improved clarity and standardization.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is the shield, likely rendered in a bright color – either white or yellow, offering a striking contrast against the road and surrounding landscape. Within the shield, the prominent “N” denotes its origin as a Nebraska state highway.

Bold, black lettering displays "174," serving as the unique route number. This number identifies a specific corridor, guiding travelers along a key connection between Nebraska's towns and regions during the mid-20th century. The sign’s clean lines and standardized fonts emphasize readability, promoting efficient navigation.

Meaning and Symbolism

The N-174 sign symbolizes Nebraska's infrastructure development and its commitment to modernizing the travel experience. It represents a specific route and, more broadly, the state's investment in its transportation network.

By replicating this historic design, the sticker evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of road travel, a time when straightforward signage played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating exploration of the Cornhusker State.

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.
