ECE70 Vehicle Marking Plate - Boxed - 600 x 200mm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A high-visibility safety marking designed for use on the rear of large vehicles, including heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), trailers, and slow-moving machinery. Its boxed design—featuring a bright yellow reflective centre framed by a red border—meets the requirements of ECE Regulation 70, which sets standards for rear markings on oversised or long vehicles across Europe. This distinctive format enhances visibility and helps communicate the presence and dimensions of large vehicles to other road users.

This sign is typically mounted centrally on the rear of the vehicle, often just above the bumper or between the tail lights. The high-contrast reflective design is especially effective in low-light or poor weather conditions, such as fog, rain, or nighttime driving. When illuminated by headlights, it becomes immediately visible, warning drivers that they are approaching a large, wide, or potentially slow-moving vehicle.

The boxed ECE70 plate is particularly important on highways, rural roads, and urban streets, where quick visual recognition of vehicle type and size can help prevent rear-end collisions and improve traffic safety. It is also valuable for vehicles that stop frequently or travel at lower speeds—such as refuse trucks, construction vehicles, or agricultural trailers.

In summary, the ECE70 Boxed Vehicle Marking Plate plays a crucial role in road safety. Installed on the rear of large or slow-moving vehicles, it ensures compliance with European regulations while improving visibility, increasing driver awareness, and reducing the likelihood of accidents in varied driving conditions.
