Route nationale française 689 (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt design features a representation of the historical and modern signage associated with the Route nationale française 689, now known as the D689 in the eastern Lyon metropolitan area.
The Historical "RN 689" Sign
The primary design element showcases the former "RN 689" road sign. This classic French Route Nationale sign is depicted with its traditional elements: a bold, rounded shield shape, a striking red background, and the white number "689" emblazoned across the center. The "RN" prefix, also in white, would have been present on the original signs, denoting its designation as a National Road.
The Modern "D689" Sign
The design also incorporates the modern "D689" road sign, reflecting the road's reclassification. This element features the yellow background and black numerals, which is the current signage used in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The "D" prefix denotes its current status as a departmental road.
Symbolism and Meaning
The juxtaposition of the two signs symbolizes the evolution of road infrastructure in France and reflects the shift from national to departmental management. The design pays homage to the road's history while acknowledging its present-day role as a vital urban connector. It represents the passage of time and the ongoing evolution of transportation systems within France.
