New Zealand Road Sign T-Shirt: R1-1 (80) & R1-8 (1987-2016) Design
This t-shirt showcases a historically significant design from New Zealand's road signage system. The artwork prominently features the R1-1 (80) sign, the iconic symbol for an 80 km/h speed limit. The sign consists of a bold, black numeral '80' enclosed within a red circle, set against a clean white background. This highly visible and easily recognizable design communicates a specific speed restriction to drivers, a crucial element of road safety.
Accompanying the primary R1-1 (80) element is the R1-8 auxiliary sign, featuring the date range "1987–2016". This secondary element places the design in its historical context, signifying the period when this specific sign combination was employed to indicate a temporary 80 km/h speed limit. The inclusion of the date range adds a layer of depth and historical authenticity to the artwork.
The stark contrast of the black numeral and red circle on the white backdrop of the R1-1 sign ensures maximum legibility. The circular format is instantly recognizable and commonly understood worldwide as a symbol of restriction or limit. The design is a functional piece of visual communication, concisely relaying a key safety message. The overall aesthetic is one of clarity and purpose, representing a critical element of New Zealand's road infrastructure.
