A green rectangular panel sits across the top, carrying a white fleur-de-lis at its centre. Crimson red and a touch of black provide accents, while white takes up around a quarter of the frame. A large white numeral 6 sits within the blue shield, and a cable-stayed bridge over water runs beneath, giving the sign a sense of place. The layout is clean and vertical, with bold shapes that read clearly at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fleur-de-lis is the traditional symbol of Quebec, and the blue shield marks the autoroute highway system. The number six is the route number reserved for the Autoroute 6 corridor proposed for the Montreal region, a project that was abandoned before it entered service. Because the road never opened, Quebec never produced a real A-6 sign, so this artwork follows established provincial design conventions to show what one would have looked like. It is a conceptual piece that brings a phantom piece of Canadian transport history into view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned to Be Held\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand, so the sign wraps slowly as you rotate it, with the green fleur-de-lis panel rising above the blue shield and the bridge crossing the curve of the ceramic. It is the perfect companion for a slow morning, and every sip brings the phantom highway a little closer to your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53184455016728,"sku":"GMY-MUG-QBCTRT-11OZ-69","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53184455049496,"sku":"GMY-MUG-QBCTRT-15OZ-26","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/quebec-autoroute-6-canada-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-QBCTRT-11OZ-69-front.webp?v=1794207677","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/quebec-autoroute-6-canada-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
