Ontario Road Sign WA-21 / WA-21T (Canada) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of the Ontario road signs WA-21 and WA-21T, a vital visual communication tool for drivers navigating the province's roadways. The artwork meticulously replicates the official design standards, ensuring a faithful representation of the warning signs.
WA-21: The Steep Hill Warning
The central element of the design is the WA-21 sign. This sign is characterized by its instantly recognizable yellow background, the universal color for warning signs in Ontario. Within the yellow field, a bold black border frames the graphic and text. The primary message, "Steep Hill / Steep Descent," is conveyed through clear, black lettering. This signifies the presence of a steep downhill grade, alerting drivers to prepare for a change in road elevation.
WA-21T: The Supplementary Instruction
Positioned below the WA-21 sign, or incorporated seamlessly into the design, is the WA-21T tab sign. This supplemental sign bears the crucial instruction "Use Lower Gear" in black lettering, providing specific advice for safe navigation. The inclusion of this tab emphasizes the importance of gear selection to control vehicle speed during the descent.
Combined Meaning & Symbolism
The juxtaposition of the two signs is deliberate. The WA-21 acts as the primary warning, while the WA-21T offers essential guidance. Together, they create a clear and concise visual message. The design symbolizes alertness, preparation, and responsible driving on roadways where significant elevation changes demand extra caution, especially for heavy vehicles. The design is a visual reminder of the hazards of speed control and a tribute to Ontario's road safety system.
