| WTF is going on in Richmond on No. 3 Road? 1 1/2 lanes?
I was in Richmond the other day, decided to go to richmond centre....
what a mistake
I was on No. 3 and i noticed that it was ONE lane traffic only? there were pylons on the left (fast) lane. Then I noticed that the left lane was really really small.
WTF happend there? it's not like there wasn't enough space? They put frigging islands there... i assume someone effed up on the dimensions on the island and the size of the road.. because the whole left lane is soo small that anything bigger than a SUV wouldn't fit.. ie. any Big truck. f150 1 tonne truck h2. etc?
WTF is going on with Richmond.. their mayor should be fired. and this whole toll knight street bridge? What The EFFF

so stupid they are building that island thing in the middle, i guess is for all the piping and wires for the skytrain... Richmond is stupid, i rmb b4 they spend so much for the stupid 98B line private road, then they tore it all down within less than 5 years!
Accidents waiting to be happen on no.3 , they block off the fast line without any hanging signs, so is constantly gridlocked on that whole road

seriously, as soon as you get to richmond, it's like there's a dome-of-stupidity covering it.

Theyre widening where the sidewalks used to be, and repainting the lines. They already finished some parts near the no3/garden city area. Its not that bad, but it is a huge waste of money how they are doing all of this, ripping up old sidewalks, replanting trees and all that crap for no real good reason.
(But the new paved roads are a lot smoother haha. Oh and the raised bike lane is STUPID)

from the makers of the middle lane on no.3 road.... did you expect something smarter??
i thought the 1/2 lane was hilariously stupid when i first ran into it. exact thought at the moment "wtf, lol" followed by a long sigh. makes me wonder how many accidents this has caused. c-lai's drive bad enough, how in the hell did they manage with 1.5 lanes to drive in?!
