Chapter 8 High Visibility Vehicle Markings – Essential Safety for Vehicles on High-Speed Roads

Chapter 8 Vehicle Markings

Chapter 8 has this name from the Traffic Signs Manual issued by the Department for Transport. It requires any vehicle working or stopping on a high-speed road to have High Visibility Markings or reflective vinyl on the rear of the vehicle.

Any Vehicle on the Highways

For cars, vans, gritters, sweepers, and tippers, any vehicle stopping on the roadside needs Chapter 8 applied to the rear to work and stop safely on the roadside. Chapter 8 can be adapted to suit any vehicle, with space for badges, windows, handles, lights and number plates, ensuring as much of the area is covered.

Ensure you are complying with UK standards

High-visibility vinyl is applied to the area in a chevron in a yellow and red pattern. This reflective material is specified as being Class R3B, compliant with standards for UK roads and vehicles and government guidelines. We will supply and install this type of Chapter 8. Our design department has outlines of the majority of vehicles, so we can find a pattern to fit your vehicle.

Work Safely

They say, be safe, be seen, and Chapter 8 is exactly designed to fulfil this, making you more visible regardless of light conditions or speed. The reflective nature of the pattern will shine when lit, and chevrons are used as a universal shape for slowing down and as a warning. The Health & Safety Act at work also requires all employers to establish and maintain safe systems of work, and helps with best practices.

Adding Chapter 8 to your Vehicle Wraps and Signwriting

In addition to fitting Chapter 8 kits, we can also design, manufacture and install creative solutions for your vehicle.

Our full vehicle wraps can completely change a vehicle. From a colour change to large digital printed images, or a combination. Our dedicated wrapping bay has the space to ensure an expert service and create a head-turning look for your business.

Our team can also offer simple CAD cut vinyl signwriting with text, simple shapes and contact details. Partially flooded side panels on vans with bright colours or digital prints are a great addition to Chapter 8 kits.
