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.
Good reasons to look at Chapter 8 chevron kits in Yeovil
- Main contractors in Yeovil may ask subcontractors to show their vehicle markings at site induction, so a properly cut kit helps avoid delays on the first day.
- A depot in Yeovil with several works vans can have kits fitted in one visit, rather than sending vehicles away one at a time.
- Vans that stop at kerbsides in Yeovil to repair, survey or unload are easier for approaching drivers to pick out with high-visibility rear chevrons.

Chapter 8 chevron kits in Yeovil: 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.
