Government regulations call for conspicuity tape on certain types of vehicles and trailers to help prevent traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths. The NHTSA estimates that, annually, these regulations help prevent between 191 and 350 accidental deaths, up to 5,000 injuries, and 7,800 crashes compared to fleets without conspicuity tape. ¹
Full-contour and partial contour vehicle markings are recommended in Australia under the ATA Industry Technical Advisory Procedure for Heavy Vehicle Visibility. To be compliant to Australian Design Rule 13/00, 2005 guidance. (Appendix A – UNECE R48/03) the tapes must have performance, colours and dimensions compliant with UN/ECE104. Contour markings should cover at least 80% of the total length and width of the vehicle / trailer and should be as close as possible to the edges. Full contour markings are the preferred layout. Vehicle reflective Markings are also recommended in New Zealand by NZTA under “Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting”.
