London DVS direct vision standard
London DVS ‘Direct Vision Standard’
DVS 2024 REQUIEMENTS
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 motorcyclist
Progressive Safe System
To improve the safety of all road users, HGVs rated below three stars will need to install the Progressive Safe System, from October 2024.
The Mayor of London has adopted Vision Zero for road danger in London with the aim of eliminating all deaths and serious injuries from London’s streets by 2041. Upgrading the Safe System is key to further reducing road danger, improving the safety of all road users and meeting Vision Zero. targets Find out more about our commitments to improving road safety in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy.
Evidence from the first year of enforcement has shown a reduction in collisions where vision was a contributing factor, but improvements can be made. A progressive HGV Safety Standard Permit Scheme is key to reduced collisions and improved safety for all road users.

Summary of Progressive Safe System
Improving indirect vision
Camera Monitoring Systems (CMS) guidance will be updated to allow use of both systems. This will give the driver a wider field of vision and reduce the cognitive workload.
CMS fitted on vehicles must eliminate any remaining blind spots. This provides a visual alert of an approaching vulnerable road user and prevents collisions in the blind spot area.
Sensors must ensure full coverage down the nearside of rigid vehicles to detect vulnerable road users. They must not activate in relation to roadside furniture or stationary vehicles. This aims to prevent left turn collisions. For articulated trailers, sensors must be fitted to the front tractor unit but are recommended for the trailer where possible.
Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS) sensors must be fitted to the front of a vehicle to prevent collisions at the frontal blind spot zone when a vehicle moves off from rest.
Warning vulnerable road users of intended manoeuvres
Audio warnings must be fitted to all vehicles, including those with left-hand drive to ensure all vehicles have the ability to warn of an intended manoeuvre.
Warning signage requirements remain unchanged.
