MUTCD-TX R3-33bTL (Texas) Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases a design directly inspired by the MUTCD-TX R3-33bTL road sign, a regulatory traffic control device utilized in the state of Texas. The artwork replicates the characteristic appearance of a traffic sign designed to inform and direct drivers on roadways.

Visual Elements and Representation

The mug's design centers on a rectangular field, rendered in a crisp white color, mirroring the background of the actual sign. Bold black lettering dominates the composition, conveying the critical message: "LEFT LANE MUST EXIT". This clear and direct phrasing leaves no room for ambiguity, mirroring the sign's function to compel a specific driving action.

The design adheres to the standard layout and typography guidelines of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD). The overall aesthetic is one of functional clarity, prioritizing immediate recognition and understanding.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism is inherently linked to safety and navigation within a traffic environment. The message of the sign—"LEFT LANE MUST EXIT"—is a direct instruction to motorists, signifying that drivers in the leftmost lane of the roadway are required to leave the main travel lanes via an upcoming exit. This is a critical message meant to prevent dangerous maneuvers and ensure a smooth flow of traffic approaching interchanges or exit ramps.

By presenting this design on a coffee mug, the artwork serves as a reminder of traffic regulation and the importance of following directions to contribute to road safety.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
