Since the change in guidance around rear chevron kits, you may still be wondering whether you need to get on board with R3B compliancy. Here, we take a dive into some of the reasons why some of our customers always choose R3B compliant kits over anything else…
Now, for any fleet vehicles operating and stopping on roads with speed limits over 40MPH, the reflective red in rear chevron kits needs to be R3B compliant or higher. In some areas, this new guidance is required by law:
Operating in England?
R3B compliant rear conspicuity markings are strongly recommended in order to meet guidance.
Operating in Scotland or Wales?
R3B compliant rear conspicuity markings are now a legal requirement.
So, reason number one to choose R3B compliant Chapter 8 kits is that it could be a legal requirement for your fleet, which makes the decision easy! But are there any other reasons why you should use R3B compliant kits, even if you’re not required to by law?
We understand that vehicle repairs are costly in more than ways than one. They can mean down time and reduced productivity for your fleet. In fast moving industries this all has a knock on effect to project timelines and budgets. By choosing R3B compliant Chapter 8 kits, accidents could be avoided and reduced through increased visibility to other road users.
Even if you don’t always operate on higher speed roads, you may find that some work settings that you visit require R3B compliant vehicle markings. We have heard of clients being turned away from work sites where their safety markings didn’t meet the stipulated safety measures. This causes unnecessary delays and inconvenience. Give your fleet the best chance of being site ready with R3B safety markings!
The image above illustrates perfectly how R3B level materials really do perform at a much higher level than the lower grade reflective materials, such as RA1 and RA2 graded reflectives.
R3B standard materials or higher are proven to have the reflective properties to ensure vehicles will be more visible in all weather conditions. The image above illustrates this perfectly! This reduces accidents on the roads – protecting fleet staff and other road users.
By offering the highest level of visibility in terms of fleet markings, this will nurture trust from your workforce and the public too.
