Retroreflective Sign Toolkit

Retroreflective signs are important for the safety of passengers, drivers and the public. All hire vehicles, including rideshare, must have a retroreflective sign displayed on or near the rear of the driver’s side of the vehicle when providing passenger services.

Welcome to the Retroreflective Sign toolkit. This toolkit has been developed to help the point to point industry deliver clear and consistent communication around displaying retroreflective signs.

It contains print and digital assets which service providers may choose to use to help them communicate this mandatory requirement to drivers.

Social media post text

Hire and rideshare vehicles must have a retroreflective sign clearly visible on the rear, driver’s side of the vehicle. 

The sign allows passengers and others to identify that the vehicle is providing passenger services by an authorised booking service provider and as a result, the driver has passed all safety checks and the vehicle is appropriately maintained. Every driver must ensure they are displaying a retroreflective sign. It is in everyone's best interest.

Attention all drivers

You must always display your retroreflective sign when providing passenger services in NSW.

Did you know that one of the most frequently issued penalty notices for hire vehicle drivers (including rideshare) is for not displaying a retroreflective sign?

The law requires you to display your retroreflective sign as it is an important safety measure that helps our passengers feel secure knowing that you legitimately drive for our company. 

The retroreflective sign must be displayed at the back of the vehicle, on the driver's side, and must be displayed in a manner that is clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle.  

Penalty Notices can be issued by the NSW Police or the Point to Point Transport Commissioner’s Authorised Officers for not displaying a retroreflective sign.

             
For more information on retroreflective signs, please visit the Point to Point Transport Commissioner's website at pointtopoint.nsw.gov.au or call the Industry Contact Centre on 131 727.
