Photography of SF G.G bridge is illegal? Guffaw! I DO know that foot traffic on the west side ( facing away from the city ) is illegal. However I didn't let that stop me. I imagine the thing to do is simply take the picture but not be obvious about it. THEN tell a police man that you want to take some photos and ask for go ahead. If he says yes you can take your time if ne says no then you still have something. For what it's worth photography at the state capital was greatly curtailed in the mid 1990's. Bsteph
