We supply a range of Direct Vision Standard (DVS) decals that follow Transport for London (TFL) recommended layout and sizing guidance. These decals are intended to improve vehicle visibility and support awareness for vulnerable road users.
Purpose
DVS signage is used to highlight blind-spot areas and encourage caution around larger commercial vehicles. Although the DVS scheme focuses on vehicle approval, practical visual warnings can assist in promoting safer interaction between drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Placement
- Side Raves: Typically positioned to indicate areas where direct vision is limited from the cab.
- Rear Panels: Used to reinforce awareness when approaching from behind.
Reference: Transport for London — Direct Vision Standard and HGV Safety Permit Guidance

Ordering
Available as individual decals or complete sets for fleet application. Please contact our team for specifications and lead-times.
Are these decals required to meet DVS permit rules?
The DVS permit process is based on vehicle design, not signage. Decals are not a substitute for required vehicle safety equipment but are commonly used to reinforce visibility and awareness.
Can these decals be supplied in custom formats?
Yes, custom layouts, languages and branding can be supported depending on the fleet requirement.
