RU Road Sign 3.17.2 (Russia) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features the instantly recognizable design of the Russian road sign 3.17.2, "Ограничение нагрузки на ось" (Axle Load Limit). The artwork is a direct representation of this important traffic control device.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a circular shape, bordered by a prominent red band. This red border acts as a visual warning, drawing the eye and signifying a restriction or prohibition.
Within the circle, a key graphic is displayed: a stylized, black illustration of a vehicle axle. This serves as a clear visual indicator of the restriction's subject: the load on a vehicle's axle.
Accompanying the axle illustration is a prominent numerical value, displayed in a clear and easily readable font (e.g., “6 т”). This number, in tons, represents the maximum permitted load on a single axle, the critical piece of information conveyed by the sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design’s symbolism is straightforward and impactful. The red circle with the white inner field, coupled with the clear illustration and number, immediately communicates a safety regulation. It warns of an axle load limitation, acting to protect roads, bridges, and other infrastructure from excessive wear and potential damage.
The design effectively combines visual clarity with a practical meaning, ensuring that the critical information—the axle load limit—is easily understood at a glance.
