Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the number "55," rendered in a bold, easily legible typeface. This number is encased within the distinctive shield shape characteristic of North Carolina state highway markers. The shield typically features a black border and a white background, creating a high-contrast design that ensures maximum visibility.
The artwork strives for accuracy, replicating the proportions and visual details of a standard NC 55 road sign. This includes the subtle curvature of the shield and the precise placement and style of the number.
Meaning and Symbolism

The route marker is a symbol of navigation, a visual cue for travelers, and an emblem of connection, linking various towns and cities across the state. Wearing this design is a nod to a particular road's significance, its role as a traffic corridor, and by extension, a connection to the places it serves.
