Where these found in Richmond? you're right, they are absolutely useless.
What does it do? Stop people from hitting into that sign?
Those real islands found all over in Vancouver are so useless. I've never seen the point of them. If they removed that island along Cambie, that's one whole extra lane they could have used. Same with Kingsway. Pisses the shit out of me when I'm trying to go to places and I can only turn one way because of Islands. Most useless idea ever.

if this is where i think it is
heading downwards, these island are located before a 3 or 4 way stop right beside a school on a curb, so i guess its there to raise caution.

that road is retarded, go through johnson instead
what pplz must understand is that, you actually have to swerve around the fucking piece
we should kidnap whoever the hell decided to waste taxpayers' money on this shit and have a barbecue by the curb there when it snows, and together we can count how many poor ppl getting fucked over that when the snow covers it. then he'll feel stupid. and we will deny him his bbq meat privileges after
Chopstickdamus bets in 1 month they'll hire a whole crew of 10 ppl getting paid 55.75/hr with benefits to plant a damm flower in the center of that thing, which will take 2 months full time to complete

rs toll booth anyone?
lol that thing is so useless
It's actually a trap. When C-Lai's go over one with their cars, they can't get out. The yellow and black striped signs attract C-Lai's and confuse FOB's.

well since u asked, im not gona be a douche anymore and actually let u in on what's up
they are there to make a challenging course for you on your way home to satisfy your needs as a gear head..
you are supposed to approach them with the same speed as you would without them, if not, faster..
not only that, they are also checkpoints. the moment you pass them.. a sector time will pop up in the middle of your screen. also, the difference from your best run will be displayed on the top left corner so you can make adjustments for a faster time in the future
sorry, im not captain obvious
btw.. its windshield wiper

Hell YES.. I have my old beater 94 Suzuki swift in my backyard waiting for a hurt, well more like waiting for the winter snow for some who cares about your car corner drifts...... You pay for the days insurance and we can both have a few runs(brand new tires)... LOL I doubt my 09 corolla would even power slide with its lame throttle response... The swift would power slide through those sideways no problem...
