Virginia 160 1980 (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt
This t-shirt showcases the iconic 1980 design of the Virginia Route 160 road sign, a representation of a specific moment in Virginia's highway history.
Design Overview
The design faithfully replicates the simple yet effective aesthetic of the 1980 road sign. It features a plain white rectangular field, subtly framed by a thin black border. This clean, uncluttered style was adopted by Virginia in the mid-1970s as part of a move towards standardized road signage.
Visual Elements
At the top of the rectangle, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small, uppercase black letters. This element clearly identifies the state where Route 160 is located. Below it, the route number "160" is prominently displayed in large, bold black numerals. The straightforward typography ensures maximum legibility, a key element of effective road sign design.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design symbolizes Virginia's embrace of standardization and modernization in road signage. The shift from the state-outline shield to the rectangular format represented a practical decision, prioritizing clarity, ease of manufacture, and adherence to national MUTCD guidelines. This sign is a visual shorthand for a specific era of highway design and the evolution of transportation infrastructure in Virginia.
