Direct Vision Standard 2024
From October 2024, all vehicles rated 0, 1 or 2 star will need to be fitted with the new Progressive Safe System recommended by the Transport for London.
The Direct Vision Standard was developed by the Mayor of London as part of his Vision Zero initiative to ultimately eliminate all deaths and serious injuries on London’s transport network. An enhancement has been made to the current DVS Safe System with the introduction of the Progressive Safe System, PSS, from October 2024.
Over a 3 year period in inner London, 70% of cyclists fatalities were caused due to HGV’s poor vision. Since 2019, fatal collisions involving HGVS where vision was a contributing factor has halved. To further improve the safety of all road users, HGVs over 12 tonnes will need to have a minimum of three-star rating to operate in Greater London. Although currently you only need a one star to obtain a DVS safety permit, this will rise and by October 2024 you will need to update your vehicles.
