Important changes governing vehicle conspicuity have been made to the Chapter 8 regulations of the Traffic Signs Manual published by the Department for Transport. The new rules cover vehicle fleets working on, or near, the UK highways, and include the following:
- Any vehicle stopping on the highway for work purposes should be of a conspicuous colour (e.g. yellow or white).
- Any works vehicles that are used to protect the workforce should be of conspicuous colour and carry appropriate marking.
- On high-speed roads, all vehicles stopping on the highway for works purposes should carry high visibility rear markings, including chevrons comprising alternate strips of fluorescent orange-red retroreflective material and fluorescent yellow non-retroreflective material.
- The markings should cover as much of the rear-facing portion of the vehicle as possible without obscuring windows, vehicle lighting or registration plates.
- Red retroreflective tape should also be applied to all rear facing edges of open doors, guardrails and equipment lockers.
