The Hexagonal Emblem
The core of the design is the hexagonal shape, a defining characteristic of these Prefectural Route signs. This form, with its sharp angles and bold presence, immediately signifies the type of road the sign represents. The shape itself is a clear indicator of the road's classification within the Japanese system.
Color Palette and Symbolism

The yellow borders create a contrasting frame, ensuring the sign is easily visible. This combination enhances visibility and is a standard in road sign design internationally, ensuring clear communication to drivers.
Route Number: 563
The central element of the design is the route number, "563," displayed in a crisp, white font. This white lettering stands out starkly against the blue, offering high contrast and readability. The route number identifies the specific Prefectural Route, aiding in navigation and providing crucial information about the road's designation.
Overall Representation
