Chapter 8 vehicle markings are not yet legislation in England but vehicle conspicuity markings are a legaly requirement in Scotland and Wales.
Many companies in England choose to adopt the guidelines as a best practice to help protect their employees and other road users.

The red retro-reflective material is designed to provide maximum night-time visibility whilst the yellow non-reflective material provides good daytime visibility.
If stopping for works on a highway with passing traffic up to 40mph – class 2 Engineering Grade is compliant
If stopping for work on a highway with high speed passing traffic up to or over 50mph+ then class R3B material is required, which covers you anywhere in the UK.
Vehicles should be fitted with alternating red and yellow chevron stripes of no less than 150mm and no wider than 200mm in width and angled between 45 and 60 degrees. The chevrons should cover as much of the rear of the vehicle as possible, without obscuring windows, lights or the registration plate.
