Highways & Traffic Management Workwear
Crews working on and beside live carriageways are relying on their clothing to be seen from a moving vehicle, day and night, in rain and spray. High-specification hi-vis, waterproofs that keep working, and branded kit for the whole team. No minimum order, next-day dispatch on stock.

Visibility is the whole job
For most trades hi-vis is one item among many. For highways and traffic management crews it is the thing standing between a worker and a vehicle doing seventy. That raises the bar on specification, on garment condition, and on making sure every person on site is kitted to the same level. What that level is comes from your own risk assessment and the requirements of the road you are working on, not from a generic assumption.
Seen from distance
Fluorescent background fabric for daylight, retroreflective tape for headlights at night. Both have to be present, and both have to still be working.
Seen in all weather
Rain, road spray and low winter light are exactly the conditions where visibility drops. Waterproof hi-vis that stays bright when it is soaked earns its place.
The same across the crew
One person in a lower-spec garment is the weak point. Kit the whole crew, including agency and subcontract staff, to the level your assessment sets.
The highways and traffic management kit list
What road maintenance, surfacing and traffic management operations typically order. Hi-vis class should be set by your risk assessment and the road you are working on.
Hi-vis jackets
The core garment. Often specified to the highest class for carriageway work, with waterproofing built in. See our hi-vis regulations guide.
Hi-vis trousers
Combining a hi-vis jacket with hi-vis trousers is what pushes an outfit to the highest class. Needed for many on-carriageway tasks.
Hi-vis polos and t-shirts
The warm-weather layer, so crews stay visible when it is too hot for a jacket. See branded polos and t-shirts.
Waterproof hi-vis over-layers
Rain gear that is itself hi-vis, so nobody covers up their visibility to stay dry. See waterproof ratings explained.
Hi-vis softshells and bodywarmers
Warm working layers in hi-vis fabric for cold shifts and night work. Softshell vs fleece compared.
Safety footwear
For rough verges, kerbs and hot surfacing work. See safety boots.
Gloves
Handling cones, barriers, signs and tools through a shift. See glove safety ratings.
Base layers
Night and winter shifts on exposed roads. Worn under the hi-vis, never instead of it.
Branded caps and beanies
The small items crews reach for first, carrying your name without affecting the hi-vis garments.
Keeping hi-vis performing on the road
A hi-vis garment is only doing its job while the fluorescent fabric is still bright and the retroreflective tape is still intact. Road work is hard on both. Building replacement into your ordering, rather than waiting for garments to look obviously worn, keeps the crew at the standard your assessment sets.
Fading and grime
Fluorescent fabric loses brightness with sun exposure and ingrained road dirt. A washed-out garment no longer performs like a new one, even if it looks acceptable. See how hi-vis actually works.
Damaged tape
Cracked, lifting or abraded retroreflective tape is a failure point at night. Our guide to replacing workwear covers what to check for.
Tell us the hi-vis class your risk assessment and works require and we will match products to it exactly.
Branding a crew across depots and contracts
Highways work runs across multiple depots, framework contracts and subcontractors. Consistent branded kit keeps a crew looking like one organisation wherever it turns up.
Consistent across sites
Same logo, same placement, same colours on hi-vis and base layers, so every crew and every subcontractor matches. See our logo placement guide.
One account, many orderers
Depots and contract managers can order against a single trade account, so branding stays fixed and per-site reordering is simple.

Common questions
Can you supply hi-vis to a specific class?
Yes. Tell us the class your risk assessment and the works require and we will match products to it. Combining a hi-vis jacket with hi-vis trousers is usually what takes an outfit to the highest class.
Is your hi-vis suitable for night work?
Our hi-vis garments carry both fluorescent background fabric and retroreflective tape. Which class is appropriate for your night works is a decision for your risk assessment. We will match products to the class you specify.
Can you handle orders across several depots?
Yes. We can run multi-site ordering through one trade account so branding stays consistent and each depot can reorder as needed.
Can we order for a small crew?
Yes, there is no minimum order, so a small traffic management operation gets the same branding and pricing structure as a large highways contractor.
How often should hi-vis be replaced?
That depends on wear, washing and sun exposure rather than a fixed period. Faded fabric or damaged retroreflective tape means the garment is no longer performing. Our guide to replacing workwear covers the signs.
