Why do I see high-sided vehicles on the bridge when the signs say it’s closed?

Sometimes this is because drivers don’t know they are high-sided, for example, if a member of the public has hired a van for the day. In other circumstances, however, some drivers will deliberately ignore the ‘closed to high sided and vulnerable vehicles’ status and continue on to the bridge.

We rely on members of the public to take responsibility for their safe conduct and decide by following the Highway Code.
