This sign is located at the north end of the pedestrian walkway to the Golden Gate Bridge. There is an emergency phone to use right next to the sign.

At first I chuckled at this sign, but upon thinking about it came to realize the seriousness. There have been approximately thirteen hundred suicides since the Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public in 1937. In 2007, 35 people committed suicide by jumping off the bridge and in 2008, 34 people did the same.

Type of sign or poster: Public

Name the misspelled word: Not listed
