New Zealand Road Sign R6-50L-5 R6-50.1 Obsolete (New Zealand) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt design features a faithful visual representation of the now-obsolete New Zealand road sign, R6-50L-5, accompanied by its supplementary plate, R6-50.1. The design accurately replicates the specific fonts, colors, and layout as they appeared on these signs when they were in use.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the R6-50L-5 sign, depicting a white rectangular sign with black text and symbols. The 'L' likely represents a directional arrow pointing to the left, indicating the loading zone is applicable on that side of the road. The "-5" likely specifies a time limit.
Below the primary sign, the supplementary plate R6-50.1 is displayed. This plate, also in a rectangular shape, carries additional text that would clarify restrictions.
Meaning and Symbolism
The combined signs, R6-50L-5 and R6-50.1, historically represented a very specific road rule in New Zealand. The design symbolizes a designated "loading zone" where goods vehicles were permitted to park for a limited time (likely 5 minutes in this case) on the left side of the road.
The obsolescence of the design and the associated road signage it depicts are themselves a form of historical symbolism. The design represents a piece of New Zealand's traffic control history, offering a visual reminder of past regulations and changes in road safety and traffic management.
