N-50A 1950 (Nebraska) Road Sign Sticker: Design Overview

This sticker presents a faithful visual recreation of the N-50A road sign used in Nebraska during the postwar standardization of 1950. The design reflects the state's efforts to update and streamline highway signage for improved visibility and legibility.

Sign Design Elements

The central element of the design is the shield, a key component of the Nebraska State Highway system signage. Within this shield, the designation "N-50A" takes prominence. The "N" clearly identifies the route as part of the Nebraska state highway network, while the "50A" indicates a specific route branching from the main N-50 highway. This "A" designation signifies an auxiliary route, often serving as an alternate path or providing access to smaller communities not directly on the primary highway.

Color Palette and Font

The design adheres to the typical color scheme of the era, which often employed a white or yellow shield with contrasting black lettering to ensure maximum visibility, which was especially important in ensuring drivers could see the sign and their routes at night. This color palette, combined with the standardized font style, enhances the readability of the sign. The font, designed for clarity and ease of viewing at a distance, is typical of the period and a defining characteristic of Nebraska's 1950s highway signage.

Symbolism and Historical Context

The N-50A sign is a symbolic representation of Nebraska's transportation infrastructure and its evolution. It speaks to a period of growth and development, reflecting the state's efforts to enhance its road network to facilitate travel, trade, and connectivity within the state. This sign represents a piece of highway history, where road signs were being standardized for the safety and convenience of drivers.

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.
