Virginia 136 1956 Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal presents a faithful visual representation of a Virginia Route 136 road sign as it would have appeared in 1956. The design evokes a specific era in American road travel, reflecting the state's historical approach to wayfinding.

Design Elements

The central element is the iconic Virginia state outline shield. The pointed-top shape is instantly recognizable as a symbol of the Commonwealth, representing the state's identity and authority in its roadways. This shield is rendered in a classic style with a crisp, bold black border framing a white background.

At the top of the sign, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in a small, uppercase font. This serves to identify the jurisdiction responsible for the route, a clear indicator of government signage. Beneath, the bold numerals "136" are prominently featured. These numbers represent the specific route designation, guiding travelers along a particular course through Pittsylvania County.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a time when signage relied on simplicity and clear visual communication. The absence of reflective technology, a key feature of the original 1956 sign, creates a sense of nostalgia. The decal is more than just a depiction; it's a visual document of the history of road travel and a tribute to the evolution of wayfinding.

The sign represents a vital link in the Virginia highway network, connecting key routes and facilitating movement. The design's overall effect is one of straightforward clarity and vintage appeal, calling to mind the golden age of American road trips.

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.
