DDOT R1-6A Old (Washington) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
A Blast from the Past: Road Sign Remembrance
This T-shirt design pays homage to a piece of Washington, D.C.'s transportation history: the old DDOT R1-6A road sign. It’s a wearable reminder of a time when the city’s streets communicated a vital message to drivers.
Design Elements and Meaning
The core of the design replicates the original sign's layout. The header, typically reading "STATE LAW," frames the key message. Below, the central visual focus is the prominent black pedestrian symbol in a yellow diamond, signaling the importance of pedestrian safety. Underneath, the key directive is clearly spelled out: "YIELD TO WITHIN CROSSWALK."
Symbolism and Representation
The sign's artwork carries significant meaning. The pedestrian figure acts as a visual prompt, representing the people that drivers are supposed to yield to. The yellow diamond acts as a warning indicating the potential for danger. The white background allows for high visibility in order to catch drivers' attention. The overall design serves as a visual language understood by all, signifying a legal obligation to prioritize pedestrian safety.
