New Zealand Road Sign R1-6 (New Zealand) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the design of the New Zealand road sign R1-6, a critical safety element in school zones. The artwork prominently showcases the sign's key visual components.
Sign Elements and Meaning
The central element of the design is the R1-6 sign itself. This sign is immediately recognizable as a speed limit indicator. The design represents a "School electronic variable" speed-limit sign as designated by NZ Transport Agency (NZTA). When active, it displays a specific speed limit, most commonly 40 km/h. This is conveyed by the inclusion of the speed limit numerals and is often displayed with flashing lights or an illuminated roundel which can be depicted on the design as flashing or glowing.
Beneath the speed limit, the design will often incorporate a "School Zone" supplementary panel to clearly indicate that the reduced speed limit applies because of the presence of a school nearby.
Symbolism
The R1-6 design symbolizes the importance of road safety, particularly around schools. It represents the reduced speed limit that is crucial during times when children are arriving at or leaving school. The sign's presence signifies a heightened awareness for drivers and a reminder to prioritize the safety of children.
