MUTCD-CA R10-2Lt 1971-2006 (California) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features the iconic design of the California MUTCD R10-2Lt road sign, specifically the version used from 1971 to 2006. The design is a direct representation of a regulatory sign that, in its era, signified a one-way street with traffic permitted to travel to the left.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The central element of the design is the pentagonal shape, a distinctive feature that set the California R10-2Lt sign apart from the rectangular "ONE WAY" signs commonly used nationwide. The use of this unique shape is a direct nod to the history of traffic signage in California during the specified time period.
The sign clearly presents the words "ONE WAY" in a bold, easily readable font, a common element of all one-way street signage. Underneath "ONE WAY," an arrow on the left visually reinforces the mandatory direction, instructing drivers that vehicles can travel to the left and not any other direction.
Meaning and Representation
The artwork represents a piece of California's transportation history. The R10-2Lt sign conveyed the simple, direct meaning of a one-way street, a regulatory command designed to maintain orderly traffic flow. The sign's design captures a specific moment in time when California had its own distinct signage standards.
