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.
What you gain from Chapter 8 chevron kits in Horsham
- Vans that stop at kerbsides in Horsham to repair, survey or unload are easier for approaching drivers to pick out with high-visibility rear chevrons.
- Dark winter afternoons in Horsham are when retroreflective chevrons earn their keep, catching headlights while crews work at the roadside.
- Main contractors in Horsham may ask subcontractors to show their vehicle markings at site induction, so a properly cut kit helps avoid delays on the first day.
What Chapter 8 chevron kits cost in Horsham
Below is the guide pricing we use for Chapter 8 chevron kits: from £325 up to £895 per vehicle, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.

Chapter 8 chevron kits in Horsham: 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.
