Vehicle Chevron Markings

Chevron Fact Details

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.

ArtsignsUK has considerable expertise in helping to ensure that companies comply with what can seem a complex set of regulations. It’s essential for the safety of all road users that working vehicles can be seen – if you need help, go to the Contact page.

History of a Flags & Bunting

History of a Flags & Bunting:
A world map showing most national flags. A flag is a piece of fabric with a distinctive design that is usually rectangular and used as a symbol, as a signaling device, or decoration.[1] The term flag is also used to refer to the graphic design employed by a flag, or to its depiction in another medium.

The first flags were used to assist military coordination on battlefields, and flags have since evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is similarly challenging (such as the maritime environment where semaphore is used). National flags are potent patriotic symbols with varied wide-ranging interpretations, often including strong military associations due to their original and ongoing military uses. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for other decorative purposes.

Website designs at affordable prices

Many website designers say that a good website is determined by the speed of loading, the relativity of the content & that the site is 'user friendly'.
All of the above are relevant, but the main priority in web-site design is that the website should be found by Search Engines. With the plethora of websites, now on the www., if your website is not listed in the first 20, it is likely that you will not be visited & however good your website is, your efforts will have been wasted.
The aim is to design a website to get on the first page of Search Engine results. In fact, the goal is to get to the top !!

Once the website is created and the relevant pages optimised, the website is hosted on a virtual server, which basically means that all the files are located on a computer, connected constantly to the internet, thus giving accessibility to your website for 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. At this stage, the website is submitted to Search Engines & directories for indexing.
