SADC Road Sign TR235 (Angola) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the design of the SADC road sign TR235, a regulatory symbol used within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, including Angola. The artwork is a direct representation of the sign itself, conveying a clear and concise message.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The core of the design is a circular shape, featuring a prominent red border and a bold, diagonal red slash running from the upper left to the lower right. This is a universally recognized symbol of prohibition, indicating something is forbidden. Within the circle, a black symbol depicting a tour bus (or a stylized passenger coach) is prominently displayed.
The sign's color scheme is stark and effective. The white retroreflective background (represented by the t-shirt's base color), the red border and slash, and the black symbol create a high-contrast design. This color palette is specifically chosen to attract immediate attention and ensure readability from a distance, just as it functions on the roadside.
Symbolism and Context
The central symbol – the tour bus – is the specific object of the prohibition. The red slash through it signifies that tour buses are not permitted to proceed beyond where this sign is placed. This design is directly related to road safety and traffic regulations, common in Angola.
The overall design reflects the standardization efforts within the SADC region, as the TR235 belongs to a common signage scheme across member states, even if local variations in implementation exist. This design, therefore, represents not only a specific traffic regulation but also a wider framework of regional harmonization in road safety.
