Indicators and Side Repeaters

Indicators, also known as turn signals, on a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) are lights that are installed on the front and rear of the vehicle to indicate when the driver intends to make a turn. The indicators blink on and off in a specific pattern, usually orange or yellow color, to alert other drivers of the driver's intentions. They are typically located on the front and rear of the vehicle, near the headlights and taillights. Side Repeaters are lights that are installed on the side of the vehicle, typically near the mirrors, to indicate the width and presence of the vehicle. These lights typically blink in unison with the indicator lights. Both indicators and side repeaters are important safety features on a HGV as they help other drivers on the road to anticipate the HGV's movements, which can help to reduce the risk of accidents. As a note, some countries and regions have specific requirements for the positioning and the type of indicators and side repeaters that should be used on a HGV. It is important to check the local regulations and laws to ensure that the vehicle is compliant with them.
