Zeichen 162-20 - einstreifige Bake Aufstellung links StVO 1992 (Germany) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug
This design renders a single German road marker as a clean, flat vector drawing: a tall white panel, edged in black, with one bold red band slanting across its face.
Visual Elements & Composition
White dominates the artwork, filling most of the frame around a vertical rounded rectangle. A thin black border defines the panel, and a red diagonal band cuts across it, giving the composition its only point of colour. There is no lettering or numerals to read, only shape and contrast. The layout is centred and restrained, so the eye lands on the stripe at once.
Meaning & Symbolism
The image depicts the VZ 162-20, the einstreifige Bake, a one-stripe delineator set on the left side of German roads under the StVO 1992. It warns drivers that a railroad crossing lies ahead, typically about 80 metres on. It is the final stage of a graduated system that begins with two-stripe and three-stripe beacons, so the single stripe signals the last warning before the crossing. The design reflects the functional, instructional character of German road infrastructure.
Bringing the Road Home to Your Cup
A mug is turned in the hand, so the panel wraps around the curve and rotates into view with each sip. The red stripe travels around the ceramic as you turn it, a small moving warning for your morning coffee. Ideal for transport enthusiasts who appreciate a quiet, precise piece of road design on their desk.

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.
For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.
