Visual Elements
The central element is a bold, white shield. Inside this shield, the black numerals "53" are centered. This design instantly identifies the route, conveying clarity and direction.
The shield itself, a pointed-top shape, is set against a stark, black square or rectangular background. This contrasting color scheme ensures high visibility and recognition, a key feature of road signage.
