Traffic-signs-manual-chapter-7-2013-figure-5-41 (United Kingdom) Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie features a design inspired by Figure 5-41 from Chapter 7 of the UK Traffic Signs Manual (2013). The artwork replicates a complex road sign, specifically a "map-type advance direction sign," providing a visual representation of an upcoming junction or roundabout.
Visual Elements and Composition
The central element is the directional sign itself, depicting a stylized map of a junction. The "arms" of the sign, which indicate different routes and destinations, are drawn at angles, reflecting the actual geometry of the roads. In this specific design, one arm is inclined at a 60-degree angle, demonstrating a sharp turn or exit.
Symbolism and Meaning
Within the inclined arm, a red-bordered triangle is embedded. This is a crucial warning sign, alerting drivers to a hazard or potential danger associated with that specific route. The presence of this warning within the directional sign signifies that the indicated route presents a hazard, such as a sharp bend, merge point, or low clearance.
The design, therefore, communicates a dual message: the direction you need to go to reach your desired destination via the angled route, but also that potential danger lies ahead on that particular road segment. The combination of directional information and hazard warning makes it a clear and informative design, representative of complex road-sign communication.
