CAUTION This lorry may turn left if you cant see the driver they cant see you sign

This Caution This Lorry May Turn Left If You Cant See The Driver They Cant See You Sign provides a highly visible warning to cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users about the dangers associated with large vehicles turning left and the areas around a lorry that may not be directly visible to the driver.

The sign combines the warning This Lorry May Turn Left with the important safety message If You Cant See The Driver They Cant See You, helping remind road users not to assume that an HGV driver has seen them simply because they are positioned close to the vehicle.

Large goods vehicles have areas around the cab and vehicle body where cyclists, pedestrians and smaller road users can be difficult for the driver to see. These areas can present particular risks when a vehicle is manoeuvring or changing direction.

Left turns can be especially hazardous where a cyclist or other road user is positioned alongside the nearside of a large vehicle. The space available may reduce significantly as the lorry turns, particularly around junctions, entrances and other restricted areas.

This warning sign is designed to encourage cyclists and other road users to remain aware of the vehicle movement and avoid positioning themselves where the driver may have difficulty seeing them.

The message If You Cant See The Driver They Cant See You provides a simple and memorable way of communicating the potential visibility problem. It encourages road users to consider whether they are positioned within an area that may be difficult for the driver to observe.

The sign is particularly suitable for HGVs, articulated lorries, rigid trucks, delivery vehicles, construction vehicles, refuse vehicles and other large commercial vehicles where blind spots and turning movements can create additional risks to vulnerable road users.

It can be used on vehicles operating in towns and cities where lorries regularly share roads with cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists, as well as vehicles entering and leaving construction sites, distribution centres, depots and industrial premises.

The warning can be especially useful on the rear or nearside of a vehicle, depending on the vehicle design and intended viewing position. The sign should be positioned where it remains clearly visible without obscuring lights, registration plates, mandatory markings or other safety equipment.

Vehicle operators should consider the most appropriate position for the sign based on the particular vehicle, body configuration and areas where vulnerable road users are most likely to approach.

The sign can also help reinforce driver and cyclist awareness at busy junctions where vehicles may need additional road space to complete a turn. Large vehicles can follow a different wheel path from smaller vehicles, and the rear wheels may travel closer to the kerb during a turning manoeuvre.

Cyclists should avoid relying solely on indicators or assumptions about the drivers intentions and should remain alert to the possibility that a large vehicle may turn across their direction of travel.

Pedestrians should also take care around large vehicles, particularly when crossing near the front or sides of a lorry where the driver may have restricted visibility.

This Caution Lorry Turning Left Sign can form part of a wider vehicle safety system alongside mirrors, cameras, sensors, audible warnings, side protection systems and other measures designed to improve awareness around commercial vehicles.

Warning signage can also support fleet safety policies by providing a consistent visual reminder across vehicles operating within busy urban, construction, logistics and distribution environments.

The sign is suitable for haulage companies, logistics operators, construction contractors, delivery fleets, local authorities, waste management companies, distribution businesses and other organisations operating large commercial vehicles.

Where site vehicles regularly interact with pedestrians or cyclists, similar warnings may also be displayed at gates, loading areas and vehicle access points to reinforce awareness of turning vehicles and blind spots.

The sign should be kept clean and clearly visible so that the message can be easily read. Damaged, faded or obscured vehicle safety signs should be replaced when necessary.

This warning sign should complement rather than replace appropriate driver training, correctly adjusted mirrors, vehicle safety technology, safe driving procedures and effective management of risks to cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

The exact safety equipment and markings required for a particular vehicle may depend on its type, weight, use and operating location. Vehicle operators should ensure that any warning signage used does not conflict with mandatory vehicle markings or other applicable requirements.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with clear print and excellent visibility, this Caution This Lorry May Turn Left If You Cant See The Driver They Cant See You Sign provides a professional and long lasting way to highlight HGV blind spots and help increase awareness of left turning vehicles.
