Louisiana 987-6 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features the iconic Louisiana state highway marker for LA 987-6, a route within the state's secondary highway system. The design is a faithful representation of the official sign used by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD).
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the silhouette of the State of Louisiana. The state's outline is rendered in a clean, easily recognizable form. The background of the Louisiana silhouette is depicted in white, mimicking the retroreflective sheeting used on the actual road sign.
A medium-thickness black border neatly frames the outline of Louisiana. Centered within the state's silhouette are the black numerals "987-6". The numbers are presented in the FHWA Series D (Highway Gothic) font, consistent with the standard used on Louisiana highway signage. This font choice ensures clear legibility.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign's design represents the state's official marking system for its roads and highways. The Louisiana silhouette itself is a symbol of the state and its geography. The black numerals "987-6" specifically identify a particular route, signifying a connection to a specific location within the state, in this case, the West Baton Rouge Parish.
The overall design reflects Louisiana's commitment to standardized signage and wayfinding. The use of a standard design across all state routes emphasizes order and clarity for drivers.
