MA Route 198 (Massachusetts) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
The Iconic Shield
This t-shirt features the unmistakable design of the Massachusetts Route 198 road sign. The core of the design is the state-route shield, a universally recognized symbol of navigation and designated roadways.
Color and Form
The sign adheres to the Massachusetts standard: a clean white background providing a stark contrast to the prominent black numerals "198". This high-contrast color scheme ensures instant visibility and readability, even at a distance. The shape of the shield, a rectangular form with curved corners, is also consistent with the Massachusetts design specifications.
Significance
The design represents the designated state route, MA 198, a critical roadway segment in Massachusetts. The presence of this sign indicates that you are on the correct and officially recognized route for that segment of the roadway, linking communities and facilitating travel.
Historical Context
The design adheres to "Construction & Traffic Standard Details" from 1996, highlighting the historical context and longevity of the Massachusetts road signage system. The thin black border, while may not always be present on physical signs, provides a visual framework for the design, ensuring that the number "198" remains the focal point.
