Virginia 214 (1980) Road Sign - Decal Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically replicates the Virginia Route 214 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The design embodies the classic aesthetic of Virginia's primary highway system, instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's roadways.

Visual Elements

The design adheres precisely to the historical specifications. It features the distinctive shape of the Virginia primary highway shield: pointed at the top and flat at the bottom. This unique form is a visual identifier, immediately signaling its association with the Commonwealth of Virginia's road network.

The background is rendered in a crisp, clean white, reflecting the reflective quality common to road signs for enhanced visibility. Encircling the shield is a bold, black outline, providing a strong visual border and enhancing the sign's legibility.

At the top, the uppercase word "VIRGINIA" is present, clearly identifying the state. Centered within the shield are the bold, black numerals "214," designating this specific route. The font used is characteristic of road signage from the era, conveying a sense of straightforwardness and official communication.

Meaning & Symbolism

The decal's design is more than just a representation of a road sign; it is a visual embodiment of a specific time and place. It signifies the network of roads and the history of Virginia's infrastructure, representing the connection between different locales and the flow of traffic. The presence of “214” in particular symbolizes the Birdneck Road, which in 1980 was a crucial connector within Virginia Beach, providing access to Naval Air Station Oceana and the local residential areas, and linking U.S. 60 and U.S. 58.

The design, with its simple yet effective elements, serves as a nostalgic reminder of the past, capturing the essence of Virginia's road signs of the 1980s.

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.
