Phase 1 restrictions are implemented when winds reach between 30-49 miles per hour and road surfaces are wet or icy. Other factors, such as wind direction, are also considered in determining whether speed restrictions are put into effect, with drivers warned of the speed limit changes by signs.
Phase II restrictions are issued when sustained winds reach 50 miles per hour, barring certain vehicles, including tractor-trailers, motorcycles, step vans, motor homes and mini-buses from crossing the bridges.
Also, the Department of Buses has installed chains on the wheels of articulated buses and buses that will be in operation during the overnight. Particular attention is being paid to routes with hilly sections.
