MUTCD-CA SR49 Open Text (California) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design prominently features the essential elements of the California SR49 road sign, a regulatory marker crucial for traffic control during snow removal operations. The design’s core visual component is the sign's text: “TOW-AWAY NO PARKING WHEN SNOW REMOVAL CONDITIONS EXIST,” rendered in the iconic, clear style mandated by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAM UTCD).
Color and Appearance
The artwork replicates the sign's critical color scheme, a significant element of its communicative power. The text, in a bold red, stands out dramatically against the sign's stark white background, ensuring immediate visual recognition. This color contrast is intentionally engineered for high visibility, especially under adverse weather or low-light conditions. The design seeks to visually recreate the reflective quality associated with traffic signs.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design represents the regulatory function of the SR49 sign, acting as a visual cue to road users about parking restrictions. The phrase “TOW-AWAY” indicates the consequences of violating the parking prohibition, conveying a firm message. The inclusion of the phrase “WHEN SNOW REMOVAL CONDITIONS EXIST” specifies the conditional nature of the restriction, thereby representing awareness of and compliance with Californian traffic regulations. The design serves as a wearable representation of road safety and awareness.
