US 250 Kansas 1926 (Road Sign) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal captures the essence of a bygone era in American road travel. The artwork meticulously recreates the original U.S. Route 250 road sign as it would have appeared in Kansas during the inaugural year of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, 1926.

A Classic Shield Design

The central element of the design is the iconic U.S. highway shield. Its shape is a faithful reproduction of the early 1926 design: a rounded-top shield, simple yet instantly recognizable. This form symbolizes the official designation of the route and its connection to the standardized national highway network.

Colors and Numbering

The color scheme adheres to the original specifications. The design employs a high-contrast palette of either black numbers on a white background, or vice-versa. This simple but effective use of color ensures high visibility and clarity, mirroring the practical function of road signs in guiding travelers.

Route Identity

The bold, centered numeral "250" is the focal point, prominently displaying the route number. This designation represents a specific, yet brief, early chapter in the history of U.S. Route 250 in Kansas. It embodies the ambition of the burgeoning highway system to connect towns, cities, and regions across the nation.

Historical Significance

This design serves as a visual testament to the origins of the U.S. highway system. It encapsulates the early spirit of standardized signage, designed for clarity and functionality, without the complexities of modern reflective surfaces. This decal is a tribute to the early days of road travel and the birth of a nation's infrastructure.

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.
