MUTCD-NY NYW5-17P Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the design of the MUTCD-NY NYW5-17P road sign, a critical element of New York State's traffic control system. The artwork mirrors the official sign's distinct visual characteristics, ensuring immediate recognition by those familiar with road signage.
Visual Elements & Representation
The design faithfully replicates the horizontal rectangular shape of the NYW5-17P plaque. The background is a vibrant yellow, chosen for its high visibility, serving as a prominent warning against potential road hazards. Contrasting sharply against this background is the black text, adhering to the standardized color scheme for warning signs, ensuring clear readability.
The central design element is the legend: “NEXT ___ MILES.” The blank space in the sign’s text is represented, acknowledging its use to specify the length of a roadway condition, such as a curve or a steep grade. This graphic represents a continuation of a warning over a defined distance.
