MUTCD-CA SW48 (California) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features the design of the MUTCD-CA SW48 road sign, specifically designed for use in California. The core of the design is the visual representation of a warning to truck drivers.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The artwork replicates the distinctive characteristics of the SW48 sign. It prominently displays a yellow reflective background, with a bold black border and legend. The legend itself states, in clear block lettering, "TRACTOR‑SEMIS OVER ___ FEET KINGPIN TO REAR AXLE NOT ADVISED." The "___" is a placeholder for a specific length value, which would be indicated on the actual road sign. At the bottom of the sign the Caltrans logo is displayed.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design is a direct representation of a crucial road safety warning. The sign symbolizes a caution for drivers of tractor-semi-trailers, advising against travel on a specific road segment if the vehicle's kingpin-to-rear-axle measurement exceeds a certain threshold. It is a visual cue for truck drivers to assess their vehicle's suitability for the road ahead, promoting safety and informed decision-making for route planning. The warning signifies potential hazards related to roadway geometry, such as sharp turns or limited sight distance.
