Virginia 255 (1980) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Time

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically recreates the Virginia Route 255 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The design is a faithful representation of a crucial element of Virginia's transportation history, serving as a snapshot of the state's highway system during that era.

Design Elements: A Classic Look

The design immediately identifies itself with its state-specific primary route shield. The distinctive shape, unique to Virginia, is a visual shorthand for state-maintained roads, instantly communicating the route's importance.

Shape and Border: Defining the Route

The sign's iconic pointed-top, flat-bottom shape is outlined with a bold black border. This outline provides a strong visual anchor, ensuring the sign stands out and is easily recognizable from a distance. The solid black border also offers a sense of definition and solidity.

Text: Identity and Location

At the top of the sign, the uppercase "VIRGINIA" is prominently displayed, immediately establishing the location of the road. This text element gives immediate context.

Numerals: The Key Identifier

Centered within the shield are the large, bold numerals "255." These numbers are the primary identifier of the route, crucial for navigation and recognition. The bold font ensures clear visibility, a crucial factor for drivers on the road.

Color and Meaning: Reflecting on the Past

The primary color is white with the standard black outline. The color reflects the MUTCD standard for reflectivity. This design and colors of the sign also provide a classic look and reflect the time the route was originally created.

In summary, the Virginia 255 (1980) road sign decal is a visual emblem of a specific place, time, and function. The overall design emphasizes clarity and legibility, while communicating important information to the viewer.

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.
