RWBA Symbol 6 - Autobahngasthof T-Shirt Design
Design Overview
This t-shirt design features the iconic RWBA Symbol 6, a piece of German road signage history. It represents the "Autobahngasthof," a motorway restaurant or rest area, crucial for drivers on Germany's Autobahnen (motorways).
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the symbol itself: a stylized representation of a building, clearly signifying a place to stop, rest, and refuel. The artwork reflects the design standards of the 1971 Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (StVO) and the 1978 Richtlinien für die wegweisende Beschilderung auf Autobahnen (RWBA) – giving it a retro, historical feel. The simple lines and bold aesthetic are characteristic of early motorway signage, focusing on instant recognition and clarity.
Symbolism and Meaning
The Autobahngasthof symbol is rich with meaning, symbolizing a welcome break for drivers. It’s a visual cue for a place to enjoy a meal, use the restrooms, and rest before continuing their journey. It embodies the idea of a safe and comfortable respite on a long drive, essential for driver well-being and road safety.
This design is more than just a road sign; it's a testament to the history of German road infrastructure and the evolution of its service areas. The simplicity of the graphic emphasizes the clear communication design, vital for drivers travelling at high speeds.
