TRY TRANSIT Road Sign Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie design showcases the iconic "TRY TRANSIT" road sign, a familiar sight for motorists on Florida's state highways and freeways. The artwork faithfully replicates the sign's core visual elements, drawing inspiration from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standard sign drawing number FTP-59-04.
Color Palette and Symbolism
The design prominently features the signature blue background with contrasting white text. This color scheme is standard for motorist services and traveler information signs, instantly conveying a sense of helpfulness and guidance. The blue background represents open roads and a commitment to providing options to road users. The white text, which includes the words "TRY TRANSIT" and the toll-free number "1-800-998-RIDE," stands out for high legibility, ensuring the message is easily and quickly understood.
Visual Representation
The design embodies the core purpose of the original sign, which is to encourage a shift towards transit as an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle use. By showcasing the road sign's distinct look, the hoodie design acts as a visual prompt, reminding the wearer and those around them about the availability of transit options such as buses and commuter rail. The phone number serves as a direct invitation for further inquiry, linking directly to transit information and service options.
Design Intent
The design serves as a statement about transportation choices. It advocates for public transit and the idea of easing highway congestion, and improving traffic flow and air quality.
