This hoodie showcases a faithful reproduction of the DuPage County 13 road sign, a familiar sight for those navigating the suburban landscape of DuPage County, Illinois. The design adheres strictly to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards for county highway signage.
Sign Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic pentagonal shape, rendered in a vibrant blue background. This shape, universally recognized, identifies the road as a county-maintained route. Bold, high-visibility yellow (gold) lettering provides the essential information.
The number "13" is prominently displayed, centered within the sign, designating it as County Highway 13. Above the number, the word "DUPAGE" is emblazoned in the same eye-catching yellow font, further clarifying the road's jurisdictional authority.
Symbolism and Meaning

It symbolizes the infrastructure that facilitates regional travel, connecting local communities and major thoroughfares. The sign, even in its simplified form, conveys a sense of direction, navigation, and the established systems that organize the county's landscape.
The use of the classic road sign design offers a direct connection to the real-world environment. It speaks to the familiarity of a county highway, representing a pathway used by locals in their everyday lives.
