ECE70 Vehicle Marking Plate - Right Hand Chevron - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A crucial safety component designed for installation on the right rear side of large vehicles such as heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), trailers, and agricultural or construction machinery operating across European roads. It forms part of the mandatory reflective marking system set out by ECE Regulation 70, which requires certain oversised vehicles to display highly visible red and yellow chevron panels that clearly define their rear edges, enhancing visibility during low light, fog, or adverse weather conditions.

This right-hand panel pairs with a corresponding left-hand chevron panel to effectively outline the vehicle’s width and length, helping other road users accurately judge its size and position. The right-hand chevron panel is typically mounted near the vehicle’s right tail light or other rear safety markings, ensuring maximum visibility.

In many European countries, fitting an ECE70 right-hand chevron panel is a legal requirement for vehicles exceeding certain length or weight thresholds, including trailers and large trucks. Its reflective surface plays a vital role in maintaining visibility on highways, rural roads, and under poor weather conditions such as rain, fog, or darkness, significantly reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.

Overall, the ECE70 Vehicle Marking Plate - Right Hand Chevron panel is essential for complying with European safety regulations and improving road safety. By clearly marking the right rear edge of large vehicles, it helps alert other drivers to the vehicle’s presence and dimensions, thereby minimising accidents and enhancing traffic safety.
