Virginia 182 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Sticker: Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically reproduces the classic design of the Virginia Route 182 road sign as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a faithful representation of a crucial piece of Virginia's transportation history.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design features a bold, iconic aesthetic. The foundation is a stark black square, immediately drawing the eye and providing a strong, defined border. Centered within this square is a pristine white circle, which stands out in sharp contrast to the surrounding black.

Inside the white circle, large and bold black numerals "182" dominate the space. The chosen typeface is designed for instant legibility, crucial for conveying information to passing motorists at a glance. The absence of any text beyond the number enhances the sign’s clarity.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design represents a specific route within Virginia's primary highway system. The white circle on black is a standardized symbol for primary routes within the state, instantly recognizable to drivers. The numbers convey a specific designation, informing the viewer of the route's identity.

This design is not just a collection of shapes and colors; it's a visual shorthand that represents history, the evolution of road signage, and the functional intent of directing travelers through the Commonwealth of Virginia.

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.
