Bespoke Chapter 8 Chevrons

Why You Need Chapter 8 Chevrons

In the last decade, one thing you would have noticed is the use of chevrons on the rear of some vehicles. They are known  Chapter 8 referring to Department for Transport‘s traffic manual. This comes under the section entitled Traffic Safety Measures and Signs for Road Works and Temporary Situations.Chapter 8 Chevrons

Before your company starts work on any of the Queen’s highways, your vans should be of a conspicuous colour. For example: white or yellow, plus the all-important Chapter 8 chevrons. If your fleet undertakes work on the motorways, your chevrons need a Highway and Motorway Maintenance sticker. Again in a prominent place.

The Reflective Stickers

All Chapter 8 Chevrons should be high visibility markings seen on the back of HGVs, vans or cars, if used for road repairs or emergency services. For emergency vehicles, checkerboard markings should be added to the sides.

All kits should be alternate strips of fluorescent orange-red retro reflective material, alternating with fluorescent yellow non reflective material. Alternatively, a solid block of orange-red retro reflective material can be used.
