Why

  1. Wind rules can change during the day.
  2. Alerts help drivers with trailers plan their trip.
  3. The service runs for 2 days per sign-up.

Details

From 10 m/s of wind the bridge has special rules, so the alerts matter most on windy days.

Tip

Sign up the day before a trip with a caravan and check the wind forecast for the next day too.

What may differ

One sign-up gives alerts for 2 days, so you have to sign up again for a later trip.

Common misconception

Some drivers think the bridge alerts cost money for every message.

What actually happens

Only the sign-up SMS costs a normal rate, and the alerts themselves are free.
