Long Vehicle Panel - Reflective Aluminium - 1265 x 225mm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Long Vehicle Panel – Reflective Aluminium sign is used to clearly mark vehicles that exceed standard length limits, typically those such as trailers, articulated lorries, and extended commercial trucks. The sign features a reflective surface to ensure high visibility in all lighting conditions, especially at night or in poor weather. Its primary purpose is to alert other road users to the increased size of the vehicle, allowing them to keep a safe distance, make safer passing decisions, and avoid accidents.

You would use a Long Vehicle Panel sign on the rear of vehicles classified as "long vehicles" under road safety regulations. This includes vehicles towing long trailers, extended trucks, or multiple-unit vehicle combinations. It is especially important for logistics fleets, agricultural haulers, or construction transport vehicles that frequently operate on public roads. In many jurisdictions, its use is legally required for vehicles that exceed a certain length threshold.

Proper placement is crucial: the sign should be mounted at the rear of the vehicle, typically centreed and at a height that ensures maximum visibility to following traffic. The sign must also remain unobstructed by dirt, equipment, or cargo to be effective and compliant with road safety standards.

In summary, this sign enhances road safety by alerting others to longer-than-normal vehicles, particularly at night or in poor visibility. Its durable and reflective design makes it ideal for use on heavy-duty vehicles in industries like transportation, logistics, construction, and agriculture. It is both a practical safety tool and a legal requirement in many regions.
