Respect the speed limit

You must be aware of the speed limits on the bridge when wind speeds reach 15 m/s or more. It is crucial that the speed limit is respected, and that is why we monitor vehicle speeds.

Ban on crossing the Storebælt Bridge

The ban on crossing the Storebælt Bridge applies to towed vehicles above a specific weight.

A towed vehicle is a vehicle designed to be pulled by another vehicle. This includes, for example, trailers, caravans, horse trailers, or similar. The list is not exhaustive.

The purpose of the ban is to reduce the risk of accidents on the bridge that could block traffic.

When the ban comes into force, signage will be in place before the last exit. The signs indicate the specific restrictions and weight limits for towed vehicles.
