Default Re: forth road bridge/queensferry crossing

I don't see the point of opening it for 2 days then closing it again.

I'm glad it's a 70mph though!

As a consequence of the motorway status of the bridge, motorcycles with an engine capacity less than 50cc will not be permitted on the Queensferry Crossing. Learner riders with a Compulsory Basic Training certificate will be allowed to use the existing Forth Road Bridge on motorcycles, displaying "L-plates" with an engine capacity of less than 50cc. Those wishing to cross the Forth Replacement Bridge on a motorcycle with an engine capacity of 50cc or greater will have to ensure that they are in possession of a full licence.
So, less than 50cc are not allowed unless they have L plates. Am I reading that right?
