Zusatzschild 741 - nach 400 m StVO 1970 (Germany) Hoodie Design
This hoodie design showcases the iconic German road sign, Zusatzschild 741 – “nach 400 m,” a supplementary distance sign from the 1970 version of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). The design is a direct representation of the sign, focusing solely on its visual elements and meaning.
Design Elements
The core of the design is a rectangular sign with a white background. At the top, it features the stylized black letters “nach,” meaning "after," signifying that the indicated rule or warning applies after a certain distance. The number "400" is prominently displayed in the center of the sign, followed by the letter "m" for meters, also in black. This combination clearly conveys the specific distance: 400 meters.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design’s symbolism is straightforward and practical. It represents a precise warning within the context of road safety. The sign itself, and therefore the hoodie design, communicates the message of anticipating a change or potential hazard ahead, 400 meters down the road. It reminds the wearer and observers of the importance of vigilance and adherence to traffic regulations, emphasizing the need to be prepared for what lies beyond the specified distance. It's a symbol of advanced warning and the systematic approach to road safety as defined in the StVO from 1970.
