Zeichen 501-20 (Germany) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal

This design reproduces the German Zeichen 501-20, a rectangular road sign that announces a one-lane merge to the right on a road without oncoming traffic.

Visual Elements & Composition

The sign is built around a clear, high-contrast layout that reads at a glance. A bold directional arrow dominates the panel, angled to show the lane returning to the right, while the surrounding field keeps the composition uncluttered. The German wording of the sign's message, "Überleitungstafel ohne Gegenverkehr, 1-streifig nach rechts," identifies its function in the regulatory catalogue, and the layout stays faithful to the standardised look of official signage.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sign is a crossover panel from the Katalog der Verkehrszeichen (VzKat 1992), dated March 19, 1992, and it operates under the StVO, the German Road Traffic Regulation. It is used mainly at construction sites, where lanes diverted to the opposing carriageway must return to their original side. Its arrow is a pre-warning: drivers see it before the merge and adjust their position in good time. The design stands for the precision of German traffic engineering and the uniform signage that keeps drivers safe through altered road layouts.

Built for the Outline of a Sticker

A road sign is a flat, self-contained shape, and this sticker is cut to its own outline, so the artwork and the object share the same edges. Applied to a laptop, a toolbox, a van bumper or a skateboard, it reads as a small roadside marker for anyone who has sat in a queue at a closed motorway lane. For fans of road-trip culture, engineering nerds and anyone who collects transport design, it is a compact piece of real infrastructure in sticker form.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
