Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge with a Go Pro on the hood of the Jeep.

The bridge is popular with pedestrians and bicyclists, and was built with walkways on either side of the six vehicle traffic lanes. Initially, they were separated from the traffic lanes by only a metal curb, but railings between the walkways and the traffic lanes were added in 2003, primarily as a measure to prevent bicyclists from falling into the roadway. The bridge was designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95 in 2021.

The main walkway is on the eastern side, and is open for use by both pedestrians and bicycles in the morning to mid-afternoon during weekdays (5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), and to pedestrians only for the remaining daylight hours (until 6:00 p.m., or 9:00 p.m. during DST). The eastern walkway is reserved for pedestrians on weekends (5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or 9:00 p.m. during DST), and is open exclusively to bicyclists in the evening and overnight, when it is closed to pedestrians. The western walkway is open only for bicyclists and only during the hours when they are not allowed on the eastern walkway.

Bus service across the bridge is provided by one public transportation agency, Golden Gate Transit, which runs numerous bus lines throughout the week. The southern end of the bridge, near the toll plaza and parking lot, is also accessible daily from 5:30 a.m. to midnight by San Francisco Muni line 28. Muni formerly offered Saturday and Sunday service across the bridge on the Marin Headlands Express bus line, but this was indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Marin Airporter, a private company, also offers service across the bridge between Marin County and San Francisco International Airport.

A visitor center and gift shop, originally called the "Bridge Pavilion" (since renamed the "Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center"), is located on the San Francisco side of the bridge, adjacent to the southeast parking lot. It opened in 2012, in time for the bridge's 75th-anniversary celebration. A cafe, outdoor exhibits, and restroom facilities are located nearby.[84] On the Marin side of the bridge, only accessible from the northbound lanes, is the H. Dana Bower Rest Area and Vista Point, named after the first landscape architect for the California Division of Highways.

The Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District, authorized by an act of the California Legislature, was incorporated in 1928
as the official entity to design, construct, and finance the Golden Gate Bridge. In 1932, President Herbert C. Hoover signed
legislation creating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, allocating a half-billion dollars for loans to banks, corporations,
and state governments. The Golden Gate Bridge was constructed using a $35 million bond, well below early construction estimates of up to $100 million, due to ingenuity on the part of chief engineer Joseph Strauss and his team. The bond issue was
supported by San Francisco-based Bank of America.
Construction began in 1933 and was completed in 1937. The bridge was completed ahead of schedule and $1.3 million under
budget. At the time of its opening, at 4,200 feet, the Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge main span in the
world. The bridge’s two main towers each rise 746 feet above the water and are strung with 80,000 miles of cable.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a historical landmark and has carried well over two billion vehicles since opening to traffic. In
1994, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) declared the Golden Gate Bridge one of the “Seven Wonders of the
United States.”
