It seems that the Highway and Transportation District has decided to proceed with the installation of such signs as a reminder for folks not to fly drones over or near the famous landmark. District officials claim that these drones, also known as unmanned aerial systems, do pose safety and security risks to folks who are using the bridge – whether they are driving or simply walking across while taking the breathtaking view in.
District officials shared, “Whether due to operator error or technical problems, drones can and do fail. When they drop from the sky, they pose great risk of causing traffic, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, especially given the crowded conditions on the bridge.” I certainly have no complaints against such a move – what do you think?
