Louisiana 1149 (2008) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of the Louisiana 1149 road sign as it appeared in 2008, a classic representation of Louisiana's highway system.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The core of the design is the recognizable silhouette of the state of Louisiana. This iconic shape, rendered in crisp white, is placed against a bold black square background. Within the Louisiana outline, the route number "1149" is prominently displayed in a bold, easy-to-read black font.
The entire design reflects the official Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD) road sign standards prevalent since the late 1950s. The black and white color scheme ensures high visibility and recognition, just as it does on the actual roadside signs.
Meaning and Representation
This design is more than just a graphic; it's a piece of Louisiana heritage. It represents a specific highway route, LA 1149, a short but significant state-maintained road in Rapides Parish. The sign's presence signifies connectivity and movement within the state's infrastructure.
The design also embodies the history of Louisiana's road systems, dating back to the post-1955 renumbering system, which simplified the state's route numbering. The classic design allows the wearer to show appreciation for a simple piece of Louisiana history.
