Golden Gate Bridge: A New Driving Experience
With the installation of the moveable median barrier comes a new and different driving
experience across the Golden Gate Bridge. Today, plastic tubular pylons are used to
separate opposing lanes of traffic on the Bridge. The new barrier system will provide a
safer and more efficient system of dividing opposing lanes of traffic.
The barrier will be installed on the 1.7-mile-long Bridge and on the approach portion of
Highway 101, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, starting at Alexander Avenue. Using
transfer machines, the barrier will be moved several times a day to create more lanes in a
particular direction to accommodate variable traffic demands such as the morning and
evening commutes.
A new merge will be very different for southbound vehicles. Where drivers current merge
from left to right, the new merge will be from right to left. In addition, the speed limit will
be dropped to 45 miles per hour from the current 55 miles per hour on the decent down
the Waldo Grade. Lastly, with the installation of the barrier, the two inside lanes will lose
6-inches of width. Getting used to driving next to the barrier may take some adjustment
for some drivers, and the District advises motorists to take it slow and get used to the new
driving conditions.
This new moveable median barrier system will enhance safety by reducing the potential
for cross-over collisions and will allow the Bridge District to more efficiently reconfigure
lane changes to optimize traffic operations on the bridge.
