Where in SF would be a good photo opp if you wanted to (safely, lol) take an urban pic with a freeway in the background? Looking for something like a freeway overpass, or a street that borders a freeway/onramp, etc.

Try the overpass over 101 on 18th St and 24th St.


Or from Bernal Heights:

I think the pedestrian overpass located here: 37.76214,-122.40572 will suit your needs. Overpass can be accessed from San Bruno Avenue and 18th St. on the east side, or Utah St. and 18th St. on the west side.

There's also a few overpasses up and down 101's stretch through SF (23rd st., two different pedestrian bridges between Kansas St. and Vermont St., 3rd St. in the southern part of the city...), but I don't think they'll give you as good of views.

Thanks for mentioning the overpass. I made it out there a couple of days ago, here's the result.
