A blue square forms the background, with a white triangle set inside it. At the centre stands a black walking figure, and beneath that figure run the diagonal bars of a zebra crossing. The palette is spare, with off-white and black doing most of the work and a light grey edge framing the sign. Nothing is decorative. Every mark does a job, which is why the composition reads at a glance, even from across a road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triangle and the walking figure are a warning, and the stripes name the place where it applies. The code itself carries the meaning: S417 identifies the pedestrian crossing sign in Danish traffic regulations, while DK is the international country code for Denmark (Danmark). The sign appears across the whole country, near schools, in busy city centres, at bus stops, on shopping streets and through residential neighbourhoods. Seeing it obliges a driver to slow down, look carefully for people on foot, be ready to stop and yield. Few signs ask so much of a motorist in so few strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Suits the Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the sign's square and triangle come into view in a slow rotation, one face at a time. The walking figure and the stripes appear as you lift the cup, and the crossing is never seen all at once. For anyone who reads the road for a living, or simply has an eye for good signage, it makes a quietly cheeky companion for a morning coffee or a long cup of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53172137099544,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SDK-11OZ-1FIA9","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53172137132312,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SDK-15OZ-1FIA9","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/s417-dk-denmark-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SDK-11OZ-1FIA9-front.webp?v=1794034882","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/s417-dk-denmark-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
