Chapter 8 chevrons are rear markings of alternating red and fluorescent yellow retroreflective material, with the chevrons pointing upwards, fitted to vehicles that stop or work on the highway under the Traffic Signs Manual's Chapter 8 guidance.
The case for Chapter 8 chevron kits in Montrose
- Vans that stop at kerbsides in Montrose to repair, survey or unload are easier for approaching drivers to pick out with high-visibility rear chevrons.
- Delivery, recovery and refuse vehicles that stop briefly on busy Montrose streets can carry rear chevrons too, where their contracts ask for them.
- If you're tendering for maintenance work with councils or utilities across Angus and Dundee, check whether contracts covering Montrose specify rear chevrons, and to what standard.
What Chapter 8 chevron kits cost in Montrose
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £325 to £895 per vehicle, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.

|---|---|---|
| Car-derived or small van | £325 – £495 | £390 – £594 |
| Medium or large van | £395 – £695 | £474 – £834 |

Price depends on the area to be covered, how many cut-outs are needed around handles, lights and cameras, the grade of retroreflective film your contract specifies, whether old markings must come off, and how many vehicles are done in one visit. All figures are guides excluding VAT, confirmed when we have photos and your contract spec.

Chapter 8 chevron kits in Montrose: permission and rules
Rear chevrons aren't usually an advertisement matter, so council consent doesn't come into it. What matters instead is Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the guidance for vehicles that stop or work on the highway, together with the specification in your contract. Highway authorities, utilities and main contractors often add their own requirements, so send us the exact wording before we cut anything. Markings are kept off windows and away from lights, reflectors and the number plate, which must stay clearly visible. Chevrons don't change a vehicle's main colour, so the V5C isn't affected. Whether you work in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, treat your contract's spec as the standard and confirm it with your client.
