SADC Road Sign R231 (Angola) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic visual of the SADC road sign R231, a crucial symbol in the SADC (Southern African Development Community) road traffic system. The design centers around a circular prohibition sign, immediately recognizable for its straightforward message.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork replicates the official sign, employing a stark and effective color palette. A bold, circular red border and a diagonal red slash cut across the design, immediately conveying a sense of prohibition. Within the circle, a black pictogram depicts a construction vehicle, symbolizing heavy machinery and construction-related vehicles. The background is rendered in a clean white, providing maximum contrast for instant comprehension.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design clearly communicates its message through visual language. The red border and slash universally signify "prohibition" or "no." The construction vehicle pictogram represents the specific vehicles targeted by the restriction. When worn, this design announces that construction vehicles are not permitted beyond the point where the sign is typically placed.
It is important to understand that the adoption of this sign, while part of the broader SADC system, is still in transition in Angola. While the design is representative of the SADC R231 sign, it may not be officially enforced as such everywhere in Angola.
