The testing will be an important part of the preparation for the new free-flow tolling system, which will allow drivers to travel over the new bridge and the Silver Jubilee Bridge without slowing down to stop at a toll booth.
The actual test process won’t begin until much later in the year. No-one will be charged during the testing period and the number plate data collected will not be stored any longer than is needed for the test. Once the new bridge is open drivers will pay a toll to cross both bridges.
