Passively safe protection for casualty reduction
Traditional verge-mounted chevron signs do an important job, but rigid sign plates and posts are not always the most forgiving option when an impact happens.
The Evo-Chev Verge system provides clear visual guidance in a passively safe, reboundable format. It uses the familiar black and white chevron layout to help highlight a sharp change in direction, while the flexible design helps reduce risk and maintain visibility after impact.
TMP has carried out scientific and real-world testing in accordance with BS EN 12767, with Evo-Chev achieving the highest safety rating of 100:NE:4.
The system has also been designed and tested to withstand impacts from all angles. If struck, the reboundable construction allows it to flex and return to an upright position, helping keep the warning visible for the next road user.
For highway teams, that means a highly visible verge chevron system that is easier to maintain, more forgiving on impact and better suited to real-world roadside conditions.
Not your average chevron road sign
Chevron signs are a familiar sight on tight bends, helping drivers recognise a sharp change in direction and respond accordingly.
Under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD 2016), chevrons are designated as Diagram numbers 515, 515.1 and 515.1A, and are used to mark a sharp deviation of route.
Evo-Chev is supplied as a TSRGD-compliant chevron system, retaining the familiar visual guidance drivers expect while rethinking how the sign performs. Instead of a traditional rigid chevron board, it gives specifiers a modern, passively safe and reboundable system designed for real-world roundabout applications.
