SADC Road Sign GFS A4-2-RSA (Angola) Hoodie Design
This hoodie features the distinctive design of the SADC-RTSM road sign GFS A4-2-RSA, as used in Angola and other Southern African Development Community (SADC) member countries. The design immediately identifies itself as a tourist-oriented sign, due to its familiar brown background, a colour convention used globally for tourism and informational signage.
Visual Representation
The central element of the design is a white pictogram representing a waterfall, a scenic attraction. This image is the primary communication element, conveying the sign's purpose: to indicate the presence of or direction to a waterfall or natural scenic waterfall. The use of a clear, easily recognizable symbol ensures that even those unfamiliar with local languages can understand the sign's intention.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "GFS" classification within the SADC signage system designates this as a Tourism / Tourist-attraction direction sign. The "A4" group specifically relates to "Scenic Attractions," and the "A4-2" sub-designation precisely pinpoints the subject matter: a waterfall. The design therefore acts as a visual guide, pointing tourists toward opportunities to view and experience natural scenic waterfalls. The design is unified across the SADC region, promoting cross-border tourist recognition of attractions.
The design, although originally defined for South Africa ("-RSA" suffix), is used across the SADC region. In countries like Angola, where driving is on the right, mirroring the design ensures optimal visibility and clarity for road users. This harmonious approach to sign design enables easier navigation across the region, encouraging tourism and creating consistent travel experiences.
