I-705 WA Metric (Washington) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a classic Interstate highway road sign, specifically the I-705 in Tacoma, Washington, rendered in a style reminiscent of the metric era of signage. The design pays homage to a period of experimentation within U.S. road signage, when there was a push towards metric units.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The central element of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. It's instantly recognizable with its red top panel bearing the word "INTERSTATE" in bold, white uppercase letters, and a blue body containing the white numerals "705". The shield’s shape is a universal symbol of the Interstate Highway System, representing the nation's network of controlled-access highways and the efficiency of travel.
The "705" designation itself speaks to the specific location and connectivity this road provides: a connector highway within Washington State. The white numerals against the blue background provide clear visibility, a crucial aspect of road sign design.
The "WA" designation at the bottom, while not present on the sign itself, is used to clarify that the sign is specific to the Washington state network and is typically located at the bottom of the sign. The entire design therefore acts as a tribute to both the infrastructure and history of the American road network.
The design, incorporating the metric era elements, offers a sense of historical curiosity for a time of change and innovation, even if the U.S. never fully adopted the metric system for road signs.
