The authorities KNOW this as a jumper cliff? It should have been bulldozed long ago to prevent an accident/suicide/murder."

The authorities know that the Golden Gate Bridge is a jumper bridge because they only have 4 feet rails. I heard the other day how many suicides are commited off that bridge and it boggles the mind. Do you think they will make the rails higher. NO!

The Golden Gate Bridge District -- the private agency that runs the bridge, ferries, and buses that cross the bridge -- is a criminally bloated and inefficient organization. For decades, they have sat on their hands while head-on collisions kill and maim motorists on the bridge and on the S.F. road on the approach, both of which have middle lanes that change direction in commute hours and are marked only by flimsy yellow rubber pylons. If they can't come up with solutions for accidents on the bridge, they sure won't come up with a way to prevent suicides!

If they make the railings higher, it would ruin the view for those tourists who walk across it.

Do you think they will make the rails higher. NO!

Do you think it matters? Another two feet of rail isn't going to stop someone who wants to kill themselves.

Why can't they just make the water shallower?

There are plans in the make to actually cage the walkways of the Golden Gate Bridge.
