Hi Viatologists,

Here is a rare glimpse of the City by the Bay in 1955! Here, you will catch glimpses of Van Ness Avenue (Federal Route 101), the Golden Gate Bridge (also Federal Route 101), the Bay Bridge, and the Federal Route 40/50 duplex just west of the Bay:

What's interesting is the lack of median on the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge. All lanes are separated by a solid white line.

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

As usual, he doesn't even get the common knowledge stuff right.

From the Official web site of the Golden Gate Bridge (
http://goldengatebridge.org/research/facts.php#statehighway # ):


IS THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE PART OF THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM?

Technically, Highway 101 and State Route 1 end at the north abutment of
the Golden Gate Bridge and at about 1,000 feet south of the Golden Gate
Bridge toll plaza. The Golden Gate Bridge is not technically or
officially part of Highway 101 or State Route 1. The GGB is not
considered part of the State Highway System, but it is considered part
of the National Highway System. For more information refer to the
California Streets and Highways Code Section 301 and 401.
