The sign's numerals \u003cstrong\u003e136\u003c\/strong\u003e carry the design, drawn in a clean, sign-style lettering that reads at a glance. Nothing competes with them. The sign shape sits at the centre of the field, with generous open space around it, so the number stands out in the way a roadside marker does when you pass it at speed. The result is quiet and direct, and the eye settles on the figures first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Route Behind the Number\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralia numbers its state routes to show how towns, regions and highways connect within each state. Route 136 is one link in that network, and its marker tells a driver which road they are on and where it leads. The design honours that everyday function. It turns a piece of wayfinding into something to look at, and it recalls the long stretches of road that make up much of the country's geography. For anyone who has followed a route number across a map, the image speaks directly to that experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the marker is seen in pieces: the numerals appear as the mug rotates, then the sign shape returns. Each sip brings the route back into view, which suits a design built on a single number. It is a small, personal way to keep a road close, whether it marks a journey you have taken or one you still plan to drive. Gift it to a road-tripper, a map lover or anyone who keeps track of the places they have been.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53124986372376,"sku":"GMY-MUG-STRSTT-11OZ-1FUDE","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53124986405144,"sku":"GMY-MUG-STRSTT-15OZ-1FUDE","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/australian-state-route-136-australia-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-STRSTT-11OZ-1FUDE-front.webp?v=1793641040","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/australian-state-route-136-australia-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
