The black numerals on the white background are a clear and concise indication of a state highway and the location of the road. This design represents a time of growth and expansion, echoing the post-war era's advancements in infrastructure.

Modern Style

The modern road sign is displayed with a white rectangle, with “NEBRASKA” across the top, with large black 35 centered. This design reflects the current standards for highway signage, employing a clean, readable design. The centered numeral, along with the state name at the top, ensures immediate recognition. The use of clear lines and high-contrast colors represents efficiency and contemporary travel standards.
