Connector Route Hoodie – Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the iconic design of the "Connector Route" road sign used in South Carolina. The artwork is a faithful representation of the auxiliary marker employed by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) to designate specific "Connector Routes" within the state's highway system.
Design Elements
The design prominently features the horizontal rectangular "CONNECTOR" plate, rendered in stark white with the word "CONNECTOR" boldly displayed in black uppercase letters. The lettering utilizes a standard FHWA Series font, consistent with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines, ensuring visual clarity and immediate recognition.
Positioned below the "CONNECTOR" plate is the South Carolina highway shield. This classic design includes the familiar outline of the state of South Carolina, containing the route number (e.g., 707) within it. This combination signifies that the route is a Connector, a shorter, state-maintained road providing access or linking to major highways.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "CONNECTOR" plate itself immediately conveys the purpose of the route: to connect. It symbolizes the function of these roads as vital links within South Carolina's transportation network, facilitating efficient travel and access to key destinations. The clean, straightforward design reflects the SCDOT's commitment to clear and unambiguous communication through its signage.
By wearing this design, you're representing a piece of South Carolina's unique road system, its ability to help drivers navigate the urban and coastal areas. It is an easily recognizable graphic to anyone familiar with the state's roadways.
