TRY VANPOOLING 1-800-998-RIDE FDOT Road Sign FTP-57-04 Hoodie
Design Overview
This hoodie design showcases the iconic "TRY VANPOOLING 1-800-998-RIDE" road sign used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The design faithfully replicates the visual elements of the sign, ensuring immediate recognition for anyone familiar with Florida roadways.
Color Palette and Symbolism
The design utilizes the standard color scheme of FDOT commuter assistance signs: a blue background with white lettering. The blue background symbolizes motorist services and non-regulatory information. The stark contrast of white text against the blue background ensures high visibility and legibility, even at a distance. This color choice, a key part of the design, instantly identifies the message as informational rather than a mandatory traffic directive.
Text and Meaning
The central element of the design is the text "TRY VANPOOLING" followed by the phone number "1-800-998-RIDE". This clear and concise message directly conveys the intent of the sign: to encourage drivers to consider vanpooling as an alternative to driving alone. The inclusion of the phone number provides a readily available resource for commuters seeking information about regional vanpool programs. The overall design serves as a public service message, promoting a more sustainable and efficient transportation option.
Design Code & Identification
The inclusion of "FTP-57-04" in the design is a key element. It’s the official designation code for the sign, providing authenticity and connects the design directly to the FDOT’s sign library.
