What is a PeoplePanel®?

PeoplePanel® is a UK innovation designed to upgrade open-rail type side guard systems on almost any HGV. Recognised by the insurance industry because of its proven ability to reduce risk, PeoplePanel® protects people from unnecessary harm and mitigates injuries in the unfortunate event of a collision with a large vehicle.

Since standard side guards were mandated on new vehicles in the UK, the fatality rate for pedestrians hit by the side of a truck dropped by 20% while the fatality rate for cyclists in similar collisions fell by 61%. Extensive research shows that a properly manufactured and impact-tested flat panel side guard can significantly reduce that fatality figure which is why PeoplePanels® are becoming widely adopted as the new industry standard.

So why should I invest?

The presence of a PeoplePanel® fitted on the side of a lorry is shown to make a significant difference in the behaviour of cyclists and pedestrians around it. PeoplePanel® draws attention to the side of the lorry where they are politely reminded to ‘take extra care’. This often changes their behaviour so a cyclist may make a wider lateral pass or even hang back altogether. Meanwhile pedestrians and site operatives are more likely to notice a bright overt panel and are then already looking at the ‘danger zone’. This means they are less likely to get as close to the vehicle as they otherwise would, thus increasing the safety margins between both.

PeoplePanels® are fully impact-tested for road use and CE marked, meaning that as well as retrofitting, they can be incorporated onto new vehicle bodies by vehicle body builders at the point of build.

Because we control the entire process, our products are salt spray, UV and chemical tested by us to ensure the highest possible product quality and longest serviceable life.
