New Mexico 182 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Design Elements
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for New Mexico State Road 182 (NM 182). The design is a faithful representation of the official route marker used throughout the state.
Artwork and Symbolism
The centerpiece of the design is the red Zia sun symbol. This distinctive symbol, deeply rooted in New Mexican culture and history, is a representation of the state itself, commonly featured on road signage. The Zia symbol consists of four groups of rays, radiating from a central circle, with each ray set to four points. It symbolizes the sacred number four, representing the four cardinal directions, the four seasons, the four times of day, and the four stages of life, as used by the Zia people. Its usage on the sign signifies that you are on a route maintained by New Mexico.
The Zia symbol is enclosed within a white circle, which is set in a black square, replicating the official design parameters according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) used by the state. This distinctive configuration ensures immediate recognition and signifies a state highway.
