DVS kits indicate the level of risk to vulnerable road users, including people walking and cycling near the vehicle. This mandate has been put in to place to help stem avoidable road incidents and accidents. It is also part of the Mayor of London's ‘Vision Zero’ plan to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries on London's transport network by 2041.

Implemented by Transport for London, Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is the measure of in-cab visibility or how much a driver can immediately and clearly see through their Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) or Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) cab windows.

Direct Vision Standard (DVS) kits can be required by the latest Safety Legislation from TfL, Transport for London. Durite Safe Systems are fully compliant with the Direct Vision Standard (DVS). The DVS kits increase the driver's awareness by reducing dangerous blind spots and alert the driver and warn pedestrians and cyclists of any immediate traffic hazards.

Are you DVS compliant?
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and safety permit for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) requires all lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to be granted a permit to enter or operate in Greater London. The scheme was created to improve the safety of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. View our full range of Safe Systems >.

What geographical area does DVS cover?
The enforcement area is extremely large. It covers all of the inner London and outer London along with all of the main trunk roads coming into London, inside the M25 corridor. To use these roadways, your HGV must be compliant and have a suitable DVS kit fitted and maintained, when rated at 0-star.
