What is the Direct Vision Standard

Direct Vision Standard (DVS) forms part of Transport for London’s (TfL) Vision Zero Plan, which was developed to improve the safety of vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists in order to eliminate death and serious injury on London’s transport network.

Having been in place since March 2021, new requirements are being introduced in October 2024, so it is essential to make sure your vehicles meet the updated, three-star minimum, standard.

With our package, you will avoid:

  • Vehicle downtime due to HGVs having to navigate alternative routes.
  • Penalty charges whilst in Greater London as you’ll have a valid permit.
  • Business operations being disrupted due to vehicle safety maintenance.
  • Life threatening collisions with cyclists or pedestrians through vehicle blind spots.

What Progressive Safe System improvements need to be made to meet the three-star minimum?

  1. Camera Monitoring System
  2. Class V and VI mirrors (can be used in combination with the CMS, or a CMS can be used in place of the mirrors)
  3. A Blind Spot Information System (BSIS)
  4. A Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS) Audio and Visual
  5. Side under-run protection
  6. Audible warnings when turning
  7. External warning signage
