MUTCD-CA R79 (California) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design features the essential visual elements of the California R79 (CA) road sign, a regulatory marker crucial for drivers navigating winter conditions in the state.
Artwork and Design Elements
The design faithfully recreates the official Caltrans sign specifications. The sign's background is rendered in either black or white, providing the base contrast for the essential information. The design allows for both color schemes.
At the top of the sign appears "AUTOS & PICKUPS" in white letters, or the reverse if on a white background. Below, a second line declares "SNOW TIRES OK". Finally, the bottom line reads "CARRY CHAINS." The typography and spacing are accurate to the official sign design, ensuring instant recognition by drivers familiar with California's roadways.
Meaning and Symbolism
The R79 (CA) road sign communicates a critical message: when encountered, it signifies that passenger vehicles and light trucks (autos and pickups) are permitted to use snow tires, but must also have tire chains available for use. This design's core meaning is the awareness and preparedness for driving in winter conditions in California.
The design clearly conveys that a legal regulation is in effect regarding vehicle equipment for snow conditions. For drivers, the shirt design symbolizes a commitment to safety and adherence to California's winter driving regulations.
