Connecticut Highway 142 Wide Road Sign Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the iconic design of the Connecticut Highway 142 wide road sign, a distinctive element of Connecticut's highway infrastructure. The design accurately replicates the official variant used by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) on overhead guide signs and directional markers.
Visual Representation
The artwork faithfully captures the essential elements of the CTDOT design. The central focus is the large, bold "142" numerals, rendered in a crisp black font, clearly identifying the route number. Positioned above the numerals is the word "CONNECTICUT," also in black uppercase letters, providing geographical context.
The sign's shape, a wide horizontal rectangle, is meticulously replicated. This elongated form, as designed by CTDOT, enhances readability, particularly crucial at highway speeds. A thin black border cleanly frames the entire sign, defining its boundaries and providing visual contrast.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design represents the connectivity and navigation inherent in highway systems. The "142" numeral directly indicates a specific roadway, a vital tool for wayfinding and spatial awareness. The inclusion of "CONNECTICUT" grounds the design geographically, signifying the local context and the state's transportation network.
This design serves as a visual identifier for a specific road within the state of Connecticut. For those familiar with the state's highways, this artwork subtly speaks of travel, exploration, and the coastal communities connected by Route 142.
