Louisiana 142 1955 (Louisiana) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic visual representation of Louisiana Highway 142, specifically as it appeared under the 1955 Louisiana road sign system. The design is a direct tribute to the historical highway markers that guided motorists through the state's northeastern region.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the Louisiana state highway shield, a standard design from the 1955 renumbering. Within the shield, the prominent number "142" is displayed, clearly indicating the specific route. The silhouette, or outline, of the shield likely incorporates design elements commonly associated with Louisiana highway markers of the era.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's symbolism is rich with meaning for those familiar with Louisiana's road system. The presence of “142” signifies a journey on a state-maintained highway. This road sign specifically represents a route that links Bastrop, Louisiana, to the Arkansas state line. The 1955 designation indicates a piece of Louisiana’s rich transportation history and that it represents a significant shift in road management.
The overall design therefore speaks to history, navigation, and the spirit of exploring the less-traveled byways of Louisiana.
