Bill Summary
Encouraging the West Virginia Division of Highways, in conjunction with the West Virginia Department of Tourism, to conduct a statewide K–12 student design competition for a new West Virginia state highway route number shield as part of the celebration of the Nation’s 250th Anniversary and the 100th Anniversary of the United States numbered highway system.
AI Summary
This resolution encourages the West Virginia Division of Highways, working with the West Virginia Department of Tourism, to hold a statewide design competition for West Virginia students in kindergarten through 12th grade to create a new design for the state's highway route number shields, which are the signs that show route numbers on roads. This competition is part of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States' founding in 2026 and the 100th anniversary of the United States numbered highway system, which is the network of numbered roads across the country. The goal is to create a unique West Virginia design that reflects the state's identity, is easily recognizable and legible for drivers, and meets safety standards, while also engaging students in civic pride and history. The winning design is to be selected by the end of 2026, with the student designer recognized by the Legislature in 2027 and presented with a sample sign. The new signs will be implemented gradually as existing ones are replaced to avoid extra costs.
