MUTCD-PR EM-1b (Puerto Rico) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the design of the MUTCD-PR EM-1b road sign, a critical emergency warning found in Puerto Rico. The design serves as a visual alert for areas designated as "Tsunami Danger Zones" or "Zona de peligro tsunami."
Visual Elements and Symbolism
The artwork replicates the official road sign, employing the standardized design elements prescribed by the Manual de Rotulación para las Vías Públicas de Puerto Rico. The sign's primary purpose is to inform of potential tsunami hazards. The design likely uses high-visibility colors and clear, concise text, as mandated by the Puerto Rico MUTCD. Its appearance indicates that the wearer, or those seeing the shirt, is entering or located in an area at risk from tsunamis.
The design’s symbolism relates directly to risk mitigation. Wearing this design is a signal of awareness of the potential dangers associated with the coastal environment of Puerto Rico and the risks of earthquakes and ocean hazards. The uniform design across the territory alerts the wearer to this critical hazard.
Design Context
The EM series, as part of Puerto Rico's Manual de Rotulación, is designed in substantial conformity with the U.S. MUTCD. The bilingual nature of the sign indicates Spanish's importance for signage in Puerto Rico. The sign's standardized design and consistent application across the island ensure its visual effectiveness.
