If you come out the stadium road there is not a sign to say the bridge is closed to high sider's, so over the bridge you go...

Also come out of the Munlochy junction, south bound and the sign is just before the bridge so you can't turn around, so over the bridge you go...

Indeed. It is dodgy being next to a high sider when the wind was like it was last night. I keep a big distance just in case. Seen them blown into the next lane - luckily no car in it.

Bring back the old, pre-blame culture, where they were just doubled up and sent on their way....

Now they just cross anyway! Three of them flow over on Rannoch Moor last night apparently...

Best one I saw today before the Forth Road Bridge turn off. "Tay bridge closed to high sided vehicals" no mention of the Forth Bridge at all.

Aye if it was me going over the bridge and i thought it was to windy, i would pull in to the middle of both lanes, with the hazard light's going.

Forth Bridge ones are ignored also - earlier the bridge was shut to pretty much everything except cars and at the same time as me there was a tipper, usual artics and a car transporter going over.
