Chapter 8 chevron kits in Caldicot: 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.
