The Humber Bridge Act 1959 gave power to the Humber Bridge Board to make byelaws:

for preventing injury and damage to the bridge;

for regulating the conduct of all persons using the bridge;

for regulating the traffic along and over the bridge and for regulating the use of the bridge and for prohibiting the use thereof in certain cases and by certain engines carriages vehicles and animals or other classes of traffic and for ensuring that road traffic shall not be unreasonably delayed;

for prohibiting the conveyance upon the bridge of any goods which may in the opinion of the Board be injurious to or prejudicially affect the use of the same or the traffic to be carried thereon or endanger the safety of the bridge or the passenger and other traffic carried thereon;

relating to the issue and inspection of tickets and the collection of tolls; and

generally for regulating and controlling the use of the bridge:


The original Byelaws from 1981 were superseded by a revision in 2003 and these can be found below.
