Conventional Toll Plaza Advance Sign 1 (Maryland) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic design of the Maryland Conventional Toll Plaza Advance Sign 1, a vital piece of roadway communication for drivers in the state. The artwork faithfully replicates the official sign used by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) and the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA).
Visual Elements & Representation
The design prominently displays a horizontal rectangle, the standard shape for this type of guide sign. The background is rendered in a vibrant green, chosen for its high visibility and retroreflective properties, ensuring the sign is easily seen day or night. White uppercase lettering and a crisp white border define the information.
The central message, presented in the FHWA Series E(M) font, mirrors the real-world signage. This design typically presents a clear and concise warning: "TOLL PLAZA 1 MILE" or "TOLL PLAZA AHEAD." The simplicity of the message, combined with the instantly recognizable shape and color scheme, communicates a straightforward directive: prepare for a toll plaza. The design can also feature an "E-ZPass" logo and additional information to inform drivers of lane use options.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design symbolizes preparedness and efficiency in travel. By wearing this sign's image, the wearer subtly acknowledges the essential role of road signage in navigating our transportation networks. The sign's message symbolizes planning ahead and understanding the flow of traffic, specifically the need to make a payment and move smoothly through toll areas.
