Product Description
Chapter 8 Red Reflective Tape and Fluorescent Yellow Tape are designed for creating high-visibility red and yellow chevron markings on suitable vehicles, trailers, signs, equipment and temporary traffic management applications. This listing includes the two essential colours commonly used for Chapter 8-style rear chevrons: red reflective prismatic R3B tape and fluorescent yellow tape.
The red prismatic tape provides strong reflective visibility when illuminated by headlights, while the fluorescent yellow tape gives bright daytime visibility. When applied together in alternating red and yellow diagonal stripes, these tapes can help improve visibility for roadworks, highway maintenance, construction vehicles, traffic management, site safety and general hazard marking.

Application Guidance
For Chapter 8-style rear chevrons, red and yellow stripes are normally applied in an upward-pointing chevron pattern, with alternating red and yellow diagonal bands angled between approximately 45° and 60°. Markings should cover as much of the rear-facing area as practical without blocking windows, lights, number plates, handles, sensors or other essential vehicle features.
For regulated highways, roadworks or traffic management use, always check the latest official Chapter 8 guidance and any project, contractor, council or site-specific requirements before application.
Suitable Surfaces
These tapes are suitable for application to many clean, dry and smooth surfaces, including painted metal, aluminium panels, plastic panels, sign boards, trailers, vehicle panels and general hard surfaces. Adhesion can vary depending on the surface condition, paint type, temperature, preparation and application pressure. Always test first, especially on delicate, freshly painted, textured, coated, dirty, damp or high-value surfaces.

Why Use Red and Yellow Chevron Tape?
Red and yellow chevron markings help make vehicles, signs and hazards more visible in busy or high-risk environments. The combination of reflective red tape and bright fluorescent yellow tape provides both night-time visibility from the reflective red sections and strong daytime visibility from the fluorescent yellow sections.
Application Guide
- Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease, wax, polish or loose material.
- Plan the chevron layout before applying the tape.
- Measure and cut the red and yellow tape to the required lengths.
- Apply alternating red and yellow stripes in an upward-pointing chevron pattern where required.
- Press the tape down firmly across the full surface, especially around the edges.
- Avoid applying over lights, windows, number plates, sensors, hinges or moving parts.
- Check adhesion after application and allow time for the adhesive to bond.
Important Notes
Buyers and installers are responsible for checking that the tape, layout, colour, size, angle and finished markings meet the required Chapter 8, highways, site, council, contractor or project specification for their intended use. This is especially important for regulated roadworks, highway maintenance, traffic management and commercial vehicle applications.
Adhesion and durability depend on the surface, preparation, temperature, application pressure, cleaning chemicals, weather exposure and general use conditions. Always test before full application. Do not apply to dirty, wet, oily, loose, flaking or poorly bonded surfaces.
