A rounded-square route shield sits at the centre, edged by a white inner border that frames the number. A horizontal yellow band runs across the top and carries the Chinese characters \u003cem\u003e琼高速\u003c\/em\u003e, the expressway's regional identifier. The large \u003cstrong\u003eS10\u003c\/strong\u003e numeral anchors the shield, and a smaller name plate reads \u003cem\u003e山海高速\u003c\/em\u003e, the Shanhai Expressway. Dark grey appears only in fine details, so the white and yellow do the work of making the text legible from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChinese expressways use a route designation of this kind to tell drivers where they are and where a road leads. \u003cem\u003e琼\u003c\/em\u003e is the traditional abbreviation for Hainan, the island province in the south, while S10 marks the route within the provincial network. \u003cem\u003e山海\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning \"mountain and sea\", gives the road its name and points to the island's landscape of coastline and uplands. The design belongs to the modern era of transport signage and draws its geography, language and symbols from Chinese road infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Route in Your Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sign like this is read in passing, and a mug turns that reading into a habit. The wraparound print comes into view as the cup is lifted and rotated, so the shield, the yellow band and the name plate arrive one after another, much as signs do on a long drive. Each morning the route is in front of you, and it is the first thing you read with your first cup of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53208776474904,"sku":"GMY-MUG-HNNXPW-11OZ-266","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53208776507672,"sku":"GMY-MUG-HNNXPW-15OZ-129","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/hainan-expwy-s10-sign-with-name-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-HNNXPW-11OZ-266-front.webp?v=1794236390","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/hainan-expwy-s10-sign-with-name-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
