On the Forth Bridge I have previously seen the police stopping high-sided vehicles at or near the bridge. I guess the problem very quickly becomes where do you put them all if you don't impose the restriction before a junction where they can be diverted.
I was in Scotland during the recent spate of winds when the bridges were closed and crossed the Friarton Bridge near Perth. The "closed to high-sided vehicles" signage was up but it was right at the start of the bridge so what could anyone do? Continue across of course. I was a little cautious when overtaking one or two of them (meaning I didn't want to)
