Insights

Released long ago and now retired, Straight Road Plates (Set 553) is a late-1970s Town accessories piece with scarce sealed availability that attracts Classic Town completists, and it benefits from historical appreciation while facing thin trading volume and substitution risk from later road-plate redesigns.

Set Facts

It contains two 32x32 road plates with a straight road pattern and a crosswalk and was released in the United States.
This set was also released as 302 Straight Road Plates with crosswalk in 1978. This was the US version of the set.

About Town Accessories

Town Accessories are the packs that filled out a LEGO Town layout between 1978 and 2002, with no building of their own. Road plates make up the largest part. They came as pairs of 32x32 baseplates printed as straight, curved, T-junction or crossroad sections, and were reissued several times up to 2002. Minifigure packs are the other staple, such as 6308 Policemen (1982), 6307 Firemen (1983) and 6309 Town Minifigures (1988), which has a mechanic, a police officer, a doctor, a firefighter and an aircraft controller. The rest are road signs, trees, flowers, flags and fences.

Accessories consists of 37 sets that ran from 1978 to 2002. As of today, 6301 Town Mini-Figures is the most valuable Accessories set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $170.
