 The
Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world's most impressive and
beautiful structures, is also one of the most dangerous.
Each day thousands of vehicles pass in both directions on
a single level span that has no permanent traffic dividers.
Plastic yellow cones are used to separate oncoming lanes
of traffic. These cones are moved periodically, from one
lane to another. This is done to adjust the number of lanes
in each direction to better accommodate commuters during
rush hour traffic. Because there
is no barrier between oncoming lanes of traffic, the
bridge has been the site of numerous head-on
collisions that have resulted in disfigurement and/or
death.

lanes of the world's most famous bridge: the "Golden
Gate Bridge." Read more. |

degree angle at 60 mph. |
As
you can see, there is little damage to
the car from hitting the barrier, and your life
was spared... |

 "It's
a red-letter day," said Nancy Read, a
bridge board member from Petaluma. "It's the
right thing to do, to prevent crossover accidents, to make
the most beautiful bridge in the world the safest."
