R3B in relation to rear chevron markings
Chapter 8 guidance has changed in relation to conspicuity vehicle markings.
The new guidance relates to fleets operating and stopping on roads with speed limits over 40MPH, as outlined in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. The reflectivity of the red now needs to be a minimum of R3B compliant or higher to meet the new standard and to ensure a higher grade of safety is achieved.

Does your fleet need R3B compliant markings?
If you have a fleet that requires rear chevron markings then this guidance applies to you. If your fleet operates and stops on roads with speed limits over 40MPH, the following applies to you:
Operating in England: R3B compliant rear conspicuity markings are strongly recommended in order to meet guidance.
Operating in Scotland and Wales: R3B compliant rear conspicuity markings are now a legal requirement.
The following image gives an idea of the difference in reflectivity between an R3B level red and an RA1 level red. This really illustrates the improved visibility afforded by R3B compliant level reflective materials.
