PBOT Road Sign R3992D Obsolete T-Shirt - Design Overview
This t-shirt features the design of the now-obsolete PBOT (Portland Bureau of Transportation) road sign R3992D. The artwork presents a clear and concise message, mirroring its original regulatory function.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The central element of the design is the bold statement: "YIELD TO BIKES IN BIKE LANE" printed on a rectangular shape. This wording is accompanied by a graphic of a bicycle, reinforcing the message's focus on cyclists and their right-of-way within designated bike lanes.
The color scheme is faithful to the original sign, utilizing a classic combination of black, red, and green. The rectangle, likely black, provides a dark background that makes the red text and the green bike symbol stand out and draw immediate attention. This color contrast is intended to quickly alert motorists to the rule being communicated.
The design's 36 x 36-inch dimensions are replicated here to reflect the original size of the road sign, creating a recognizable and authentic feel.
Meaning & Interpretation
The design represents a specific historical aspect of Portland's transportation infrastructure. It symbolizes a regulation designed to improve cyclist safety and promote courteous behavior among drivers. The "YIELD" instruction conveys a clear directive for drivers to give way to cyclists using bike lanes, reinforcing the idea of shared road space.
