Virginia 247 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This decal replicates the iconic Virginia Route 247 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The design faithfully recreates the official signage used to mark this crucial connector route in Roanoke, Virginia.

Visual Elements

The artwork centers around the distinctive shape of the Virginia primary state highway shield. This shield, with its pointed top and flat bottom, serves as the primary visual element, immediately identifying the route's significance.

The shield features a bright white, reflective background. This creates high visibility, a critical function of road signage designed for optimal legibility.

A bold black border outlines the shield’s shape, providing a strong visual definition that helps the sign stand out.

At the top of the shield, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small, uppercase black letters. This element clearly identifies the state where the route is located. Below "VIRGINIA", the bold black numerals "247" are prominently displayed, communicating the specific route number.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a vital piece of Virginia's transportation infrastructure. The road sign symbolizes a specific route, VA-247, and functions as a directional guide for both local commuters and travelers accessing the Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport. The consistent use of the primary highway shield communicates the route's importance as part of the primary highway system.

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.
