Nebraska State Spur 1183 (Road Sign) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

Visual Representation

This decal presents a faithful visual recreation of the Nebraska State Spur 1183 road sign, as it would have appeared during the 1950s and 1960s. The design is simple, direct, and functional, reflecting the postwar standardization efforts that prioritized clarity for drivers.

Design Elements and Meaning

The core of the design is a white background, chosen for its high visibility against various environmental conditions. Centered on this field are the primary elements of the sign: the words "Spur" and the route number, "1183." These are rendered in bold, black lettering, ensuring legibility at a distance. The word "Spur" is positioned at the top, signifying the route's classification as a branching connector. Beneath it, the large "1183" identifies the specific spur route.

The overall rectangular or shield-like shape of the sign further emphasizes the utilitarian nature of the design. The stark contrast between the white background and black text serves a crucial purpose: to quickly and effectively convey information to motorists. This straightforward approach is symbolic of the era’s focus on practicality and accessibility in road infrastructure.

Symbolism of the Design

The Nebraska State Spur 1183 sign design embodies the idea of connection and access. It represents a vital link between the main highway network and local communities or points of interest. The clean, uncluttered aesthetic speaks to the desire for efficient communication and a smooth driving experience, hallmarks of the 1950s and 60s era of road design.

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.
