Show the answer

High-level bridges may be closed to certain vehicles in windy weatherThis was the right answer

In exposed places, such as high-level bridges, viaducts or some motorways, high winds can cause the road to be closed to certain vehicles. If you're driving a high-sided vehicle and high winds are forecast, plan an alternative route in case your intended route is closed.
