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

WELCOME TO RICHMOND!!!!

Always avoid no3, fixed or not fixed, it's been bad since b-line middle lane

bcedhk 09-16-2009 01:47 PM

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

i was actually telling my gf about that lane the other day... it must of been mistakes in calculation

Volvoman 09-16-2009 03:05 PM

yeah by where the cactus club is right.

wtf, shit goes from 2 lanes to 1 1/2 lanes. At least they paved part of No3.

hongers ftl

Drift_Monkey 09-16-2009 03:15 PM

Yeah Fck that part of the road.

Accidents are bound to happen when there are sudden merges without warning.

fact: richmond bumps up the vehicle accident statistics for the rest of canada

StewartJD 09-16-2009 03:26 PM

They must have a monkey running the urban planning office in richmond city hall.

asian drivers in richmond is not dangerous... since they all suck they kind of all suck together... its when other drivers coming in from surrey, vancouver, burnaby that disrupts the pattern... that's dangerous

not only there, but around ALL SURROUNDING ROADS as well. and the flagpeople had NO idea wtf they were doing. took me 20 mins to go 2 blocks -- with the 'aide' of a flag person. awesome.

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

busdriverman 09-16-2009 05:12 PM

no3 road sucks...if u absolutely must get to Richmond Center, go garden city and take cook road instead.

this will save you from a lot of white hairs

hotjoint 09-16-2009 05:16 PM

i avoid richmond like aids

SolidPenguin 09-16-2009 07:14 PM

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)

danizer 09-16-2009 07:19 PM

no left turns southbound is also a fail :(
bc...no...CANADA has a shitty government...lol, time to move back to hong kong

spoon.ek9 09-16-2009 07:20 PM

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?!
