Are foreign vehicles subject to this obligation? Yes. Please note that if they are already wearing a device intended to indicate the presence of blind spots under the legislation of another EU Member State on the sides and back, they are considered to be in good standing.

Where does the signage go? The signs shall be positioned so that they are visible in all circumstances and in such a way that they cannot obstruct the visibility of the vehicle's regulatory plates and inscriptions, the visibility of the various lights and signaling devices and the field of vision of the driver vehicle.

Are there regulatory requirements for the placement of signage? Yes. The signs must respect a very specific position provided for in article 2 of the draft decree.

From next 1° January all heavy vehicles, including buses, circulating within the French territory, will have to install labels (stickers or tags) in what are considered blind spots for the driver.

On 1 January 2021, in France, the decree concerning the application of article R. 313-32-1 of the highway code relating to the reporting of the presence of blind spots on heavy vehicles will come into force. Any means subject to this decree must submit the new report, otherwise the bodies responsible for theFrench territory will be able to sanction drivers and transporters.

This decree refers to:

• Drivers and owners of heavy vehicles whose total authorized load weight exceeds 3.5 tons;
• Buses and articulated buses.

Drivers, owners of heavy vehicles, vulnerable users (in particular cyclists, pedestrians, users of individual means of transport) and supervisory authorities are the categories of persons concerned in this decree.

We have summarized with visual examples the means and the correct reporting that they will have to present.
