MA Route 188 (Massachusetts) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for Massachusetts Route 188. The design is a faithful reproduction of the official signage found along the designated highway within the state of Massachusetts.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The core of the design is a white shield, square in shape with a slightly elongated aspect. A thick, solid black border outlines the shield, providing definition and visual contrast. Inside the shield, the number "188" is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif black font.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign represents Massachusetts Route 188, a state-maintained highway. The white shield with black numerals is the standard design used in Massachusetts to identify state routes, differentiating them from U.S. Routes or Interstate highways. The "188" itself is the route designation number, a crucial element for navigation and route identification. This familiar design signifies that the wearer (or those viewing the wearer) is either traveling on or in proximity to Route 188.
The design adheres to the guidelines outlined in the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a standardized approach to roadway signage, which helps make the route instantly recognizable to drivers. The sign, in essence, is a symbol of travel, direction, and connection within the Massachusetts road network.
