Regardless of whether mirrors are already fitted, install a camera monitoring system to eliminate blind spots on the nearside of the vehicle. Position in-cab monitors near a window edge or existing mirror location to minimize driver distraction. A mirror replacement camera system may serve as an alternative to fitting Class V and VI mirrors.

Additionally, a mirror replacement camera system can be used as an alternative to fitting Class V and VI mirrors. Monitors intended solely for displaying blind spots related to low-speed maneuvering may deactivate at speeds above 20mph.

Note that the installation of this camera monitoring system and the BSIS system, is optional and not currently required to conform to the new PSS legislation. While it offers a valuable solution for eliminating all nearside blind spots, compliance is not mandatory.

To ensure comprehensive coverage along the nearside of the vehicle, install blind spot information systems. These sensors should not activate in response to stationary vehicles or roadside furniture unless a collision is imminent.

For articulated vehicles, position sensors strategically on the tractor unit to provide sufficient nearside coverage without triggering by the trailer itself. These sensors should enable detection within the defined zone, including areas adjacent to a semi-trailer. Tailor the specific implementation to what works best for the technology supplier and the vehicle operator.

Mandated vehicles must have audible warning equipment to alert nearby pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users of turning manoeuvres. The volume of this warning, measured at a one-meter distance from the sounder, should range from 65 to 88 decibels/dB(A).

Operators are encouraged to install an audible warning system combining spoken warnings and white noise. Ideally, such devices should require minimal driver intervention and include a manual on/off switch for use between 23:30 and 07:00.

For left-hand drive vehicles, fitting an audible vehicle manoeuvring warning is imperative to alert pedestrians and cyclists during right turns.

Display warning signage on the rear of the Rigid Vehicle & any trailer unit in use, not the front tractor unit.

Design the signage to warn people walking and cycling of the hazards posed when near the vehicle.

Ensure the signage is not offensive or does not give instructional advice to people walking and cycling. The text point size must be legible to a cyclist or pedestrian at a reasonable distance from the vehicle.

Use signage of at least A3 size.
