Chapter 8 Chevron Kits: What They Are and Why Your Fleet Needs Them

If your business operates vehicles that work on or near public roads — particularly highways, dual carriageways, or motorways — you may be legally required to display Chapter 8 chevron markings on the rear of those vehicles. Whether it's a legal requirement or simply a safety best practice for your fleet, Vector Edge has you covered.

What Is Chapter 8?

Chapter 8 refers to the UK Traffic Signs Manual's Chapter 8, which sets out requirements for the marking of vehicles used in road works and maintenance. It specifies the use of high-visibility yellow and red chevron markings on the rear of vehicles to warn other road users of potential hazards.

These markings are mandatory for vehicles working on public highways in the UK, including local authority vehicles, utility company fleets, highways maintenance contractors, and many others.

What's Included in a Chapter 8 Kit?

A standard Chapter 8 chevron kit includes red and yellow retroreflective chevron striping designed to meet the requirements of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD). Kits are available for a range of vehicle sizes and rear configurations.
