Iowa Primary 90 (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic Iowa Primary 90 road sign, a piece of Iowa's transportation history. The design is a faithful representation of the sign used on Iowa Highway 90 during its existence from 1932 to 1981.
Sign Elements and Meaning
The artwork centers around the standard Iowa Primary Road marker. The design prominently features a white background, which provides a stark contrast for the black text and circular route number. This color scheme, a common practice in road signage, ensures high visibility and readability, crucial for drivers needing to navigate the roadways.
At the heart of the design lies the route number "90." The number is displayed within a black circle, following Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) font standards. This element, a fundamental aspect of road sign design, quickly identifies the route for motorists. The specific font used is Series C, as the route number has two digits.
Historical Significance
The sign itself is a relic of a bygone era. It represents a state-maintained highway that once connected key points in Iowa. The visual representation pays homage to the now-defunct Iowa Highway 90, replaced by the modern Interstate system. Wearing this design is a nod to Iowa's transportation past, the significance of roads in connecting communities, and the simple, yet essential language of road signs.
