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

A ECE70 Vehicle Marking Plate – Right Hand Vertical Chevron is designed to be mounted on the right rear vertical edge of large vehicles such as heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), trailers, and construction or agricultural machinery operating across Europe. As part of the safety requirements outlined in ECE Regulation 70, this plate features a reflective red and yellow chevron pattern that enhances the visibility of oversised vehicles. Positioned on the right side, it clearly defines the vehicle’s outer boundary, making it easier for other road users to detect its presence and dimensions.

This marking is typically installed on the right rear corner of the vehicle—either on a rear door edge or a side panel—working in conjunction with horizontal rear chevron plates. Together, they create a clear and continuous outline of the vehicle’s shape, which is especially helpful when viewed from angles other than directly behind. This visual guidance allows approaching drivers to better assess the size of the vehicle and respond accordingly, reducing the likelihood of collisions.

The use of the right-hand vertical chevron plate is especially critical on busy roads, motorways, and in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or nighttime driving. Its reflective surface ensures high visibility in both daylight and darkness, increasing the vehicle’s conspicuity from various angles. This contributes to safer navigation for surrounding traffic and improves awareness for pedestrians and cyclists.

In summary, the ECE70 Right Hand Vertical Chevron Plate should be fitted to the right rear vertical edge of oversised vehicles to comply with European road safety standards. By clearly marking the vehicle’s right-hand boundary, it helps improve visibility, prevent accidents, and promote safer conditions on public roads.
