San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Daily commuters between San Francisco and cities in the North Bay have long complained about the traffic gridlock on the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. Recent increases in bridge toll fees going southbound on Freeway 101 have done nothing to ease the congestion experienced by motorists. Many have complained that the Golden Gate Bridge Authority has been more concerned about erecting suicide barriers for people who want to die anyway than bringing relief to the thousands who cross the bridge daily to make a living to survive.

Finally, the bridge authority, with pressure from daily commuters, has instituted a measure to solve the traffic nightmare on the bridge. It has issued a directive banning deer from crossing the bridge during heavy commute time – from 6-9 am and 4-7 pm, Monday to Friday. Deer crossings have been identified as the main culprit for the traffic problems on the bridge.

Any deer caught crossing the bridge during these times will be cited and fined $500 for the first offense.  Subsequent violations will carry a minimum jail time of 30 days.
