US 10A Michigan 1926 (Road Sign) Vinyl Decal

Design Overview

This decal replicates the historic US 10A road sign used in Michigan during the inaugural year of the U.S. Highway System, 1926. The design is a faithful reproduction of the original road marker, offering a glimpse into the early days of American road travel and route designation.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the iconic cutout U.S. Highway shield. The shield's shape is characterized by its rounded top and flat sides, a standard design adopted nationally at the time. "U.S." is prominently displayed at the top of the shield in bold, black block lettering.

The route designation "10A" is the focal point of the shield, positioned in the center, and rendered in black numerals and lettering. The "A" suffix distinguishes this route as an alternate, often a shorter or more direct path through a specific area compared to its parent route, US 10. The background of the shield is white, providing a stark contrast that makes the black lettering and numerals highly visible.

Meaning and Symbolism

The US 10A road sign symbolizes the early evolution of the U.S. Highway System and the way that routes were once laid out. The “A” suffix represents a deviation, typically for the sake of convenience or because the original route was altered. It represents how road systems were originally designed.

The design evokes nostalgia for a time when cross-country travel was a novel experience, and road signs were beacons of exploration and adventure. It represents Michigan's contribution to this pivotal moment in transportation history. This design offers a symbolic tribute to a bygone era of American road travel.

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.
