Louisiana 229 2008 (Louisiana) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic visual representation of Louisiana State Highway 229, as it would have appeared based on the 2008 design guidelines of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD).
The Design Elements
The central element is a graphic interpretation of a standard Louisiana state-route road sign. It prominently displays "LA 229" in a bold, clear font, positioned within a shape meant to represent a road sign "shield." The design adheres to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines as implemented by the La DOTD, which typically involves a white background with black lettering.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design immediately identifies the wearer's connection to Louisiana and its state highway system. The "LA 229" signifies a specific route under state maintenance, used for navigation and reference throughout the state. The design embodies the straightforward functionality of road signage, communicating information clearly and concisely. It speaks to a connection with the state's infrastructure and the common experience of navigating its roads.
