PBOT Road Sign R5550 (Oregon) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features the distinctive design of the PBOT Road Sign R5550, a regulatory sign used by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) in Oregon. The artwork directly replicates the official sign, ensuring visual accuracy.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design is a simple yet effective rectangular shape, adhering to the specifications outlined in the PBOT Sign Code Book. The text "CENTERLINE VIOLATION $287 FINE" is displayed prominently in bold, black lettering against a stark white background. This high-contrast color scheme ensures immediate readability and attention, a critical feature for a traffic-related warning.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign's primary function, and therefore the design's underlying symbolism, is to communicate a specific warning and consequence to drivers. The "CENTERLINE VIOLATION" message directly addresses the risk of crossing the double yellow centerline, a common traffic violation. The explicit fine of "$287" amplifies the legal implications, creating an immediate understanding of the potential repercussions of non-compliance.
The design subtly alludes to a particular roadway configuration: the presence of speed cushions designed to be fire-truck-friendly. The sign's existence highlights that these traffic-calming features may encourage drivers to encroach upon the opposing traffic’s lane. This design serves as a crucial reminder to motorists to stay on their side of the road, reinforcing safe driving practices and road regulations specific to the streets of Portland.
