This t-shirt design prominently features the “Conventional Toll Plaza Advance Sign 2” as used by DelDOT (Delaware Department of Transportation) on major toll roads like DE 1 and I-95.

Sign Elements and Meaning
The design is dominated by a horizontal rectangular panel, echoing the shape of the physical road sign. The background is rendered in a vibrant green, the standard color for guide and warning signs in the US road system and in Delaware. This green color immediately signals to the viewer that this design represents an informational sign found on highways.
The central message, “TOLL PLAZA ½ MILE,” is displayed in bold, white FHWA Series E (Highway Gothic) font. This font choice is crucial, as it is the standard used for road signage, ensuring immediate recognizability and clarity of information. The text itself is a clear warning that the toll plaza is approaching in half a mile, urging drivers to prepare for toll payment.
An optional, but often included, element is the E-ZPass logo. This purple and white logo is an additional element that signals the availability of electronic toll payment options, streamlining the toll collection process. It represents the efficiency and convenience of modern transportation systems.
This design serves as a tribute to the road signage and is a direct representation of essential traffic control information. This design is also a clever way for Delaware drivers and transportation enthusiasts to demonstrate their appreciation for the roadways and express a reminder of the toll system.
