As long as it is clearly visible and reflective that should be fine and I suspect that actually what is going on is that people are hiding behind this standard compliance because they don't want to wear a rucksack. If a rucksack isn't required currently then how are the items currently collected and what is wrong with the current system?

DiscoStu":j02jyh4r said:So the standard for hi viz has to be X for the motorway because cars are travelling at 50+ mph, ok fair enough I assume that specific standard is set so that the wearer can be seen by a car approaching at those sort of speeds and therefore be seen from further away. Surely at toll booths the speed of the cars is significantly slower than on the motorway and therefore the same level of hi viz wouldn't be required. I would also have thought that someone walking between booths would be side on to cars, and therefore if anything a hi viz rucksack would increase the amount of hi viz that was visible to a driver.
The idea of someone having to walk across to each booth and carry a load of heavy money seems ridiculous, but I struggle to understand using the hi viz compliance as a point to argue. Surely the managers that have come up with this will then just ensure that the rucksack conforms to the relevant hi viz requirement?
Anyway I don't want to fall out with anyone, so this is just my view and you are all welcome to completely disagree with me.
