Drones are becoming a problem for the Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge Management Agency, which connects San Francisco with Marin County, is concerned about the increasing concentration of drones in the area of ​​the bridge and the frequent incidents involving them, reports Ars Technica .

Denis Mulligan, general manager of the company servicing the bridge, told the magazine Marin that one of the drones recently crashed right into the lane of vehicles. The company and other government organizations sent a letter to Senator Diana Feinstein, pointing out that "the increased presence of unmanned aerial vehicles poses a serious threat."

Mulligan said that the drones violate the perimeter of the security zone of the bridge. “We cannot attract people who manage drones for illegal entry into a protected area. But if a person climbs over your fence and starts taking pictures, you can bring him to justice. ” Denis speaks of the need to create a clear legal framework that would limit the flight of UAVs over a protected area for security reasons.

This is not the first time that they want to regulate the use of multicopter and other aircraft. For example, heated debates have arisen in various US states regarding the use of drones to deliver goods. The modern legal system is faced with a fundamentally new phenomenon - the civilian use of remotely controlled aircraft. A decade before, the use of drones was the prerogative of the armed forces. Now, when multikopter became widely available on the market, the situation has changed.

Although the legislators of many countries proceeded from the principle of “easier to ban”, which caused reasonable indignation, but in the case of the Golden Gate Bridge and the fall of the drone on the carriageway, everyone is clear. UAVs have become a part of our world and, in order to avoid accidents that can lead to loss of life, a legal framework and sound regulation of flight zones are necessary.
