Virginia 175 - 1956 Road Sign Sticker

This sticker presents a faithful reproduction of the 1956 Virginia Route 175 road sign, a visual embodiment of the state's transition to a modern road marking system. The design is immediately recognizable for its classic shield shape, a symbol of guidance and direction on Virginia's roadways.

Design Elements

The central visual element is the white cut-out shield, a stark contrast to the thick black outline that defines its shape. This bold outline gives the sign its prominence and readability from a distance. Within the shield, the word "VIRGINIA" is printed in simple, impactful black capital letters, identifying the state the route serves.

The black numerals "175" are boldly centered beneath, designating the specific route number. The choice of a clear, block font emphasizes functionality and legibility, essential characteristics for road signage designed for clarity and safety. This design showcases the shift from older, roundel signs to a more modern, standardized approach.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific historical moment in Virginia's transportation history, mirroring the national trend toward standardized highway signage. It symbolizes progress, order, and the expanding infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The shield shape, common to many state route markers, denotes a network of established and maintained roadways, guiding travelers and connecting communities.

The color palette—crisp white with black accents—is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The contrast enhances readability, while the simple design allows for quick identification, serving its primary purpose of conveying crucial information to motorists. This sticker carries a piece of Virginia's history, a tangible reminder of a bygone era in 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.
