MUTCD-PR W17-3ap (Puerto Rico) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design features the official road sign MUTCD-PR W17-3ap, specific to the territory of Puerto Rico. The sign is a warning sign variant designed to alert drivers to a grooved shoulder or a textured edge of the travel lane ahead.
Visual Elements and Representation
The design faithfully replicates the visual elements of the W17-3ap sign. It presents a black and yellow color scheme, typical of warning signs. The main visual element is a black symbol illustrating a grooved surface, representing the textured or grooved condition of the road shoulder or lane edge. This is a crucial detail, warning drivers about potential changes in vehicle control.
The Spanish text, "Huella en paseo (placa)", meaning "Grooved shoulder (plate)" is incorporated into the design, providing clear and concise communication. The placement of the text and symbol adheres to the official MUTCD-PR specifications, ensuring accurate representation.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's primary function is to communicate a critical warning. The graphic of the grooved surface immediately signifies a change in road condition that might impact a vehicle's handling, particularly for motorcycles, bicycles, or light vehicles. The sign symbolizes a potential hazard, and serves to encourage drivers to exercise caution, reduce speed, and maintain control when approaching the grooved shoulder.
The plate aspect (i.e., "(plate)") signifies that this is a supplemental warning sign, reinforcing the message of another main warning sign. The design, therefore, acts as a visual prompt to drivers to be aware of surface changes and drive safely.
