British Columbia Highway 99 route marker sign

Description

British Columbia Highway 99 is in the province’s southwest corner of the mainland. The route serves as a major north-south artery, connecting Vancouver to the United States border to the south, the Whistler resort area to the north, and the communities making up the surrounding areas. Highway 99 is also known as the Sea to Sky Highway, as it allows the traveler to ascend from the Vancouver area on the coast up to the mountains. The number “99” dates back to the days of the old US Route 99, which BC-99 used to connect to at the border with Washington state.

Our British Columbia Highway 99 sign is available in three different versions corresponding to the signs used over the years on this famous highway. The 1953 design was rendered in black and white. In 1961, the modern shape was introduced, and the provincial coat of arms was rendered in full colour, though the digits and “B.C.” text were still black. By 1971, the present-day colour scheme, with text and digits in blue, was in place. All three signs use the classic and distinctive custom font only ever used on British Columbia roadways.

For exceptional longevity, our British Columbia Highway 99 sign is printed on robust 14-gauge steel. It has a high-gloss, non-reflective coating that won’t fade for years, even when subjected to the elements when installed outdoors. Additionally, pre-drilled holes have been included to make posting it quick and easy! The 1953 sign is available in the following sizes:

• 10.325 in. × 13 in.
• 13 in. × 16.375 in.

And the 1961 and 1971 versions are available in these sizes:

• 11.2 in. × 13 in.
• 14 in. × 16.25 in.
• 20 in. × 23.214 in.
