The Golden Gate Bridge does not have suicide jumper protection. The fence separating bridge pedestrian traffic from the Bay is a standard stomach height one. I like that. Apparently every year it gets debated as to whether suicide prevention fences should be added but so far those arguing for it have not been able to get their policy instituted. It makes the Bridge a much nicer and open public space without them. I hope the fence remains as it is.
I wish the Sydney Harbour Bridge would do the same.

Cam,
I've never walked the Sydney Harbor Bridge. I've often thought about it--to take some photos. I do know that you can do climbing tours of the Bridge.
From memory you can walk across the 'Coathanger' and go to the top of the Pylon Tower. From here, for a fee, you have a view of the harbour, the city skyline, the Opera House, The Rocks, Darling Harbour and North Sydney.
