Johnson County Route W38 IA (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the official road signs of Iowa, specifically focusing on Johnson County's Route W38. The artwork centers on a pentagon-shaped sign, rendered with the classic blue background and white lettering characteristic of Iowa's county road signage, as mandated by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
