Zeichen 278-20 - Ende der zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeit StVO 2017 (Germany) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug
This design reproduces German traffic sign 278, the marker that tells drivers the permissible maximum speed limit has ended.
Visual Elements & Composition
The composition is minimalist and built on high contrast. White fills most of the field, with black and dark grey carrying the detail, so the sign reads at a glance. A circular badge sits at the centre, its grey numerals "20" framed by diagonal black-and-white stripes that cross the face as cancellation bars. Nothing decorative competes with the mark. The flat vector style keeps every line crisp and orderly, with the emphasis placed squarely on clarity.
Meaning & Symbolism
Sign 278 is part of the StVO, the Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, Germany's road traffic regulations. Its job is to end a restriction: where the sign appears, the speed limit that applied before no longer holds. The diagonal bars are the universal language of cancellation, and the number tells the driver which limit is being lifted. The graphic captures the look of official public infrastructure, a reminder that German roads are signed with precision and that the rules are meant to be read quickly and obeyed without fuss.
Made for Slow Mornings and Fast Thinking
A mug is turned in the hand and read at close range, which suits a sign built for quick recognition. Wrapping the circular badge around the curve of the cup lets the stripes and numerals catch the light as the mug moves. It makes a cheeky gift for anyone who has ever wished for a clear end to a long commute, or for a friend who collects road-trip oddities.

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.
