New Zealand Road Works Alert: T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design features the essential visual elements of New Zealand's temporary road works warning system, specifically the W1-1A and W1-1.7A road signs.
W1-1A: "Road Works Ahead"
The central element of the design is the W1-1A sign, a diamond (square) shape with a vibrant orange background. A bold black border frames the core message: the silhouette of a person digging, a universally understood symbol of road work in progress.
W1-1.7A: "Shoulder Closed"
Complementing the W1-1A, the design incorporates the W1-1.7A supplementary plate, the black text "SHOULDER CLOSED" against a white background. This communicates a crucial safety message, reinforcing the hazard of road works by indicating that the road shoulder is unavailable.
Combined Message & Symbolism
The combined imagery delivers a clear and concise warning: "Road works ahead — shoulder closed." The design effectively visualizes the heightened risk associated with road construction and reminds viewers to drive cautiously and be aware of potential hazards, with the symbolism of a worker representing the ongoing activity and the "shoulder closed" notification emphasizing the unavailability of the road's edge.
