DRIVERS approaching San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge will experience something new for the first time in 76 years: no human toll collectors.
The toll takers were removed in favor of cheaper and faster electronic transponders, and a camera system photographs every license plate that comes through, mailing an invoice to each motorist who doesn't prepay.
Those who fail to pay will receive warnings and could ultimately have a hold placed on their vehicle registration at the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
In addition to saving money, the move is expected to improve traffic flow on the majestic span that opened in 1937.
