RWBA Symbol 5 - Autobahnhotel StVO 1971 (Germany) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt features the iconic RWBA Symbol 5, a piece of German road sign history. This design, as defined in the 1971 RWBA (Richtlinien für die wegweisende Beschilderung auf Autobahnen) guidelines, and officially listed in the StVO (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung) signage catalogue, presents a simple yet instantly recognizable image.
Artwork and Visuals
The central element is a high-contrast bed pictogram. The artwork renders a side view of a bed, including a pillow, in a clean, minimalist style. The symbol adheres to the original 1971 design specifications: a solid black image set against a crisp white square background, ensuring clear visibility and immediate understanding.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design’s primary function is to direct drivers to an "Autobahnhotel," a hotel specifically catering to motorway travelers. The bed symbol is the key visual cue, representing the essential service offered. The design's strength lies in its ability to quickly and universally convey a critical piece of information to motorists: a hotel is accessible at or near the upcoming motorway exit.
