Warning - this Vehicle Makes Wide Turns - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert other road users that the vehicle requires extra space to complete turns safely. Large vehicles, such as trucks, buses, or articulated lorries, often swing outward when turning, which can be hazardous to cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and smaller vehicles that attempt to pass too closely. By displaying this sticker, the driver provides a clear visual warning to others, helping prevent accidents, injuries, and vehicle damage caused by misjudging the vehicle’s turning radius.

This sticker should be placed on the rear and, in some cases, on the sides of the vehicle, where it is clearly visible to drivers approaching from behind or alongside. It is particularly important for commercial vehicles, delivery trucks, construction vehicles, and other large or long vehicles that frequently navigate urban roads or tight spaces. Placement at eye level and in a reflective or high-contrast format ensures maximum visibility during both daytime and nighttime driving.

Using a "Warning - This Vehicle Makes Wide Turns” sticker enhances road safety by proactively informing other drivers of the vehicle’s maneuvering characteristics. It reduces the risk of collisions caused by smaller vehicles or cyclists misjudging the turning radius. The sticker encourages drivers to maintain a safe distance and exercise caution when overtaking or driving near the vehicle, contributing to safer road-sharing practices.

Ultimately, this sticker demonstrates responsible vehicle management and safety awareness. It protects both the vehicle and surrounding road users while fostering a culture of caution and accountability on the road. By clearly communicating the wide-turning risk, operators minimise the likelihood of accidents, support compliance with safety best practices, and enhance overall traffic safety.
