Louisiana 819-5 (2008) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic visual representation of Louisiana State Route 819-5. The design replicates the official highway shield used to identify this specific segment of roadway in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.
The Design Elements
The artwork centers around a classic highway shield shape. At its core, the design presents the route number "819-5" rendered in a clean, white sans-serif font against a solid black or dark background. This contrast ensures high visibility and legibility.
The "(2008)" designation, likely denoting the design year of the shield graphic, is a subtle detail that acknowledges the historical context of the signage standards employed.
Meaning and Symbolism
The shield's primary function is to serve as a directional marker. The numerals "819-5" immediately inform the viewer of the specific road segment they are traveling on or approaching, thus providing essential navigational information. It is a symbol of Louisiana's Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD), representing the state's inventory of roadways. Beyond its practical utility, the design embodies a connection to local history and infrastructure. It hints at the network of routes built in Louisiana during the 1955 highway renumbering, serving the needs of local communities and linking them together.
