New Zealand Road Sign R7-2.3 (300) Obsolete T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features the design of the now-obsolete New Zealand road sign, R7-2.3 (300). The artwork is a faithful representation of the original sign, a visual snapshot of a bygone era in New Zealand's road signage standards.
Design Elements
The design prominently displays a white, rectangular plate framed by a bold red border. The central feature is the black text "300 m", indicating the distance in meters. This simple, clean design reflects the functional nature of road signage; its primary aim is clear and concise communication.
Meaning and Symbolism
The R7-2.3 (300) sign, in its original context, was a supplementary plate designed to be mounted beneath regulatory signs. Its purpose was to inform drivers that a specific regulation—like a speed limit or no-overtaking rule—would be in effect for the next 300 meters. The design therefore symbolizes a period of road rules and traffic management, acting as a visual cue to drivers.
As an "obsolete" design, this t-shirt design holds additional meaning. It represents the evolution of road safety regulations and the inevitable changes in design standards over time. It is a nostalgic nod to the past, a reminder of how road signage once looked in New Zealand.
