Finland Road Sign 231 863 1999-2020 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and informative design derived from the classic Finnish road sign system. The central visual elements are the iconic signs 231 and 863, representing essential traffic instructions from the 1999-2020 era.
Sign 231: The Yield
The design prominently displays sign 231, "Väistämisvelvollisuus risteyksessä" - the yield or give-way sign. The shape and color of this sign, typically a white triangle with a red border and a white center, immediately communicates to the viewer the need to yield to traffic at an intersection.
Sign 863: Two-Way Cycle Path
Positioned alongside sign 231 is sign 863, "Kaksisuuntainen pyörätie," indicating a two-way cycle path. This sign, often presented as a rectangular supplementary sign, features a bicycle symbol with arrows pointing in both directions. This graphic element subtly reinforces the message of yielding, specifically directing attention to cyclists who may be approaching from either direction on the designated cycle path.
Combined Symbolism: Intersection Awareness
The combined design of signs 231 and 863 carries a clear message. It represents a specific intersection situation in Finland. The yield sign conveys that vehicles must give way at the crossing. The addition of the two-way cycle path sign emphasizes that this yielding obligation extends to cyclists approaching from either side of the road. It visually encapsulates the need for heightened awareness and caution when approaching an intersection with a two-way cycle path.
Historical Context: 1999-2020 Design
The inclusion of the "1999-2020" reference indicates that the design utilizes the style of these road signs from a previous design period, providing a touch of vintage nostalgia for the experienced driver or those interested in Finnish road signs.
