Just an observation but having spoken to my son who lives 10 miles north of Perth and who travels infrequently to Edinburgh, he tells me that high side HGV's regularly ignore the wind danger warnings, there is no apparent enforcement as such and he described one or two hairy driving experiences alongside HGV's across the bridge. The approach roads either side are very fast flowing albeit with a couple of pull off areas and even with strong gusts blowing it can be pretty unnerving driving a family vehicle alongside one of the big guys. I can only assume that after such a catastrophe as occurred in the early hours the other morning maybe some form of more rigid enforcement may be introduced.
