Although there is no definitive list of what constitutes a high-sided or vulnerable vehicle, we issue our own list of the vehicles that should not cross the bridge in high winds. This is based on historical data of which vehicles are most vulnerable to high winds, with input from the Road Haulage Association and the emergency services.
The list includes:
- Three wheeled-vehicles
- Motorcycles
- Mopeds
- Furniture/Luton vans
- Transit vans with modifications
- Articulated HGV (full or empty)
- Vehicles drawing a trailer or caravan
- Motor homes
- High-sided rigid HGV
- Articulated/rigid tipper (full or empty)
- Car transports
- Double-decker buses
- Abnormal loads – special types
- Cars with roof boxes
