Beschilderung der Park- und Rastplätze an Bundesautobahnen 1981 Beilage 2 (Germany) Road Sign Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design showcases a historically significant piece of German road signage: the "Parkplatz bitte sauberhalten" sign from the 1981 version of "Beschilderung der Park- und Rastplätze an Bundesautobahnen" (Annex 2). The design is a faithful representation of the original sign, adapted for wearable art.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the rectangular sign, meticulously recreated from historical specifications. The sign's dimensions are proportioned according to the original 1500 mm Ă— 500 mm (width Ă— height) format.
The design includes a 10 mm light-edge ("Lichtkante") framing the main visual. The corners of the sign are rounded with a 40 mm radius, mirroring the original's specifications. The typography adheres to the era's standards for road signage.
Text and Typography
The design features the German text "Parkplatz bitte sauberhalten" rendered in uppercase (Versal) letters. "Parkplatz" is the most prominent word, with a height of 140 mm, immediately drawing the viewer's attention. "bitte sauberhalten" is displayed below it, with a slightly smaller height of 105 mm.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign's primary function is to communicate a civic message: "Parking area, please keep clean". It directly addresses motorists, requesting them to maintain the cleanliness of the rest area. The message conveys an environmental responsibility and contributes to the upkeep of public spaces.
The design serves as a reminder of the historical evolution of German road signage and the ongoing efforts to keep public spaces tidy. This particular sign is a direct artifact of German Autobahn history.
