Stearns County Route 138 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold graphic representation of a road sign from Stearns County, Minnesota, specifically for County Road 138. The design captures the essence of Minnesota's rural road system.
Sign Shape and Color
The central element is the road sign itself. Depending on whether County Road 138 is classified as a County State-Aid Highway (CSAH) or a regular county road, the design presents one of two sign variations. If the road is a non-CSAH route, the design depicts a classic white square shield with bold black lettering: the number "138." If the road is a CSAH route, the design displays the blue pentagon shield with the "138" in white (or gold) lettering.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign imagery represents a county-maintained road, signaling that it is managed at the local level rather than by the state or federal government. The shape and color provide a key distinction, informing the viewer whether the road is part of the county state-aid system, representing potentially higher-priority maintenance and funding. The presence of this road sign design symbolizes navigating the network of Minnesota's less-traveled roadways, linking communities and offering routes away from the main highways.
Overall Aesthetic
The design aims for clarity and authenticity, emulating the look of a real road sign encountered while navigating Stearns County. It's an understated but recognizable symbol for those familiar with the area or road signs in general, offering a conversation starter to fellow drivers, locals, or fans of Minnesota roads.
