Zeichen 501-84 Überleitungstafel - ohne Gegenverkehr (Germany) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design reproduces German traffic sign 501-84, an Überleitungstafel, the transition board that marks a road section without oncoming traffic.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is built from flat white and black on a square field, with a rounded-corner border framing the whole sign. White dominates, with black used for the lane arrows and their outlines. Four upward arrows rise from the base and split into lanes: the two left lanes curve off to the right, and the two right lanes shift to the left. The lane-merge curves are drawn cleanly and evenly, with no decoration beyond what the diagram needs.
Meaning & Symbolism
Sign 501-84 belongs to the standardised regulatory system of German road signage, set out in the StVO (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung) and catalogued in the VzKat (Verzeichnis der Verkehrszeichen). It is used on four-lane roads where the traffic flow is redirected: the two left lanes move right and the two right lanes move left, so drivers know that no vehicles are coming the other way through that stretch. The design is a modern, minimalist rendering of that instruction, in the precise, utilitarian style of official European road safety documentation.
Made for the Shot Glass
A shot glass is small and held close, so the lane diagram sits right at eye level as the glass is lifted. The square border and bold arrows read at a glance, turning a sign that drivers see from a distance into something you study over a table. It is a cheeky conversation piece for anyone who has spent time on German motorways and a quirky gift for anyone who appreciates a well-drawn piece of traffic design.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.
These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.
They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.
- Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
- Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
- Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
- Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
- Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.
Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.
Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.
Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.
When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.
