Description
When driving into Zambia or Zimbabwe, local regulations require vehicles to have specific red and white reflective tape on them for safety and visibility. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need:
- Rear Reflective Tape:
- Red reflective tape should be placed on the rear bumper of the vehicle.
- It’s typically required on each corner of the rear bumper to enhance visibility for vehicles approaching from behind.
- Front Reflective Tape:
- White reflective tape should be placed on the front bumper.
- This also helps with visibility, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions, allowing oncoming traffic to spot your vehicle more easily.
- General Placement:
- The reflective tape should be securely applied, clearly visible, and not obscured by any part of the vehicle.
- Make sure to clean and prepare the surfaces properly before applying the tape to ensure it adheres well.
- Regulatory Compliance:
- These requirements are enforced by local traffic authorities and are part of their road safety measures.
- Not having the proper reflective tape may result in fines, or even a refusal to let you continue your journey until you comply with the regulations.
By equipping your vehicle with the correct reflective tape, you’ll not only be compliant with the law but also improve your safety on the road.
