Virginia 258 (1980) Road Sign Decal: Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically replicates the Virginia Route 258 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The design directly reflects the standards established for primary state highways within Virginia's road system during that era.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The core of the design is the distinctive shape of Virginia's primary highway shield: a pointed top and flat bottom, immediately recognizable to those familiar with the state's roadways. A bold, heavy black outline defines this shape, providing a clear visual boundary.

The sign's background is rendered in white, reflecting the reflective quality mandated by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards of the time. This detail is essential in recreating the sign's intended function: to be easily seen and identified by motorists, day or night.

At the top of the shield, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small, uppercase, bold black lettering, further reinforcing the sign's origin. Centered prominently within the shield, the numerals "258" are displayed in a large, bold, black font. This number clearly identifies the specific state route, guiding travelers along the road.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a specific point in time and place: the roadways of Virginia in 1980. It symbolizes the state's infrastructure and the role of its highway system in connecting communities and facilitating travel. The shield shape, coupled with the state name and route number, immediately communicates information about navigation and destination.

The use of the primary route shield, with its standardized design, also signifies that VA-258 is part of the state's main highway network. The sign acts as a visual guide, assisting drivers in navigating from Franklin to U.S. 58, connecting them to surrounding communities and the broader transportation network of Southampton County.

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.
