Schild CS 255 AD (Andorra) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces the CS 255 AD road-number sign from the Principality of Andorra, a marker that identifies one secondary route in the country's road network.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is built around its designation. The letters CS, the numeral 255 and the suffix AD sit together as a single compact group, so the eye reads the route code as one unit before it reads anything else. Nothing decorative competes with it. The composition is plain and direct, which suits a road marker whose job is to be read at a glance from a moving vehicle.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each part of the code carries an administrative meaning. CS stands for Camí Secundari or Carretera Secundària, the Catalan and Spanish terms for a secondary road. The number 255 identifies this specific route, and AD is Andorra's country code. Together they place the road within the Xarxa Bàsica d'Andorra, the basic orientation network that guides travellers across the principality's transport corridors. The sign is a small, precise statement of national order and connectivity, and it belongs to the wider tradition of civic signage that shows how a compact European nation organises its infrastructure.

Made for Everyday Ritual

A road sign is designed to be seen in passing, and a mug is seen the same way: glanced at across a kitchen table, turned in the hand as the first coffee of the morning is poured. The code sits neatly within the mug's wraparound field, so each sip brings the lettering back into view. It makes a cheeky gift for anyone who has ever relied on a road sign to find their way, or who simply loves maps and the quiet logic behind them.
