SADC Road Sign R229 (Angola) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the design of the SADC road sign R229, specifically as it would appear in Angola, reflecting the country's transition towards the Southern African Development Community (SADC) road sign system.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The central element is a circular sign, characteristic of regulatory signs within the SADC Road Traffic Signs Manual (RTSM). The design uses a red border and a white background.
The most prominent feature is the black pictogram illustrating a goods vehicle, or a truck, placed within the circular shape. This imagery is a universally recognized symbol, immediately conveying a prohibition against a specific type of vehicle.
A red bar bisects the pictogram from left to right, superimposed over the truck image. This is a crucial element: the red bar universally signifies that the action or type of vehicle represented by the pictogram is prohibited. The combination of the truck graphic and the red bar communicates the sign's meaning instantly.
Design Meaning
The design clearly communicates the prohibition of goods vehicles. It’s a direct visual message, understood across language barriers, which is the core principle of road signage. In the context of Angola, the presence of the sign signifies that goods vehicles are prohibited from proceeding beyond the point where the sign is displayed. This design is a statement for road safety and adherence to regional harmonisation.
