MA Route 229 (Massachusetts) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
The Design
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for Massachusetts Route 229. The design is a faithful reproduction of the official state highway shield, adhering to the standards set by the Massachusetts amendments to the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Visual Elements and Meaning
The central element of the design is a white shield or panel. Within this panel, the number "229" is prominently displayed. The numerals are rendered in a bold, black font, and a black border frames the entire shield, providing definition and clarity.
The simplicity of the design is deliberate. The white background and black elements are consistent with the standard for Massachusetts state route shields. This design choice is not arbitrary; it represents a numbered state highway, denoting its status as an important road within the state's transportation network. The absence of additional directional indicators means the sign primarily indicates the presence and number of the route.
The design, derived from the official public domain source, carries a sense of authority and recognition, allowing enthusiasts to show their appreciation for Massachusetts's unique road system.
