We provide a range of Direct Vision Standard (DVS) decals that follow recommended layout and sizing guidance. These decals help improve vehicle visibility and support awareness for vulnerable road users in busy urban environments.
Purpose
DVS signage highlights areas where direct vision from the cab is limited and encourages greater caution around larger vehicles. While the DVS scheme itself focuses on vehicle approval based on cab design, practical visual warnings can assist in promoting safer interaction between drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
The Direct Vision Standard is a measure of how much HGV drivers can see from their cab directly.

Placement
- Side raves: Positioned to indicate areas where direct vision is limited from the cab.
- Rear panels: Used to reinforce awareness for approaching road users.
Material and Durability
The decals are produced from exterior-grade printed vinyl with a protective over-laminate designed for long-term use in commercial transport conditions.
Ordering
Available as individual decals or full sets for fleet application. Please contact our team for specifications, quantities and lead-times.
Are these decals required to meet DVS permit rules?
No. The DVS permit process is based on vehicle design and required safety equipment, not signage. Decals are an additional awareness measure to support visibility and vulnerable road user safety.
Can these decals be supplied in custom formats?
Yes. Custom layouts, languages and branding can be provided depending on fleet requirements.
