Which Grade Reflectivity Do I Need?
Prismatic Grade Reflective Red
Also referred to as retro-reflective material, Chapter 8 guidelines advocate for its usage when operating on roads with speed limits exceeding 40mph. The recent regulations stipulate R3B compliance certification for such material, which all our prismatic material meet, ensuring full compliance with regulations.
Engineering Grade Reflective Red
Our entry-grade material is tailored for roads with speed limits of 40mph and below. This grade material holds two levels of certification: R1 and R2. We exclusively offer R2-certified grade red, representing the highest quality attainable for a non-prismatic material. Engineering grade vinyls are great for traffic signage, cars, vans and lorries.
Air Release Vinyl Technology
All Chapter 8 & Chevron Kits are supplied on vinyl with air release technology. The vinyl has a microscopic weave invisible to the naked eye allowing for easy removal of air bubbles trapped under the vinyl during application. Simple apply pressure with your thumbs or squeegee tool to work out any trapped air.
High Visibility Vehicle Markings for Chapter 8 and Safety at Street Works
Specification
Chapter 8 Part 3 of the UK Highways Traffic Signs Manual, and the Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice, sets out guidelines for the use of high visibility conspicuity markings for vehicles stopping on all motorways, highways and roads. It is a best practice adopted by local authorities, highway construction and maintenance companies.
Conspicuity markings comprise of high visibility rear chevron markings of alternate strips of red reflective and fluorescent yellow non retro-reflective material. These chevrons should be spaced not less than 150mm width each, inclined at 45° (or up to 60°) to the horizontal and pointing upwards.
The reflective ensures nighttime conspicuity while the fluorescent yellow daytime. Chapter 8 Part 3 requires a high-grade R3B prismatic reflective for works vehicles on high-speed roads (>40mph), and R2 for lower-speed roads. Safety at Street Works and Road Works requires a red reflective which can be RA1, RA2 or R3B and is for non-motorway use.
Please refer to the Department for Transport website at www.dft.gov.uk for Chapter 8 and Safety at Street Works and Road Works full guidelines for rear chevrons, additional side markings and text markings.
