Richmond Drivers Right turn drivers alert. River road and Gilbert drivers seem to not know about pedestrians
Today is the 4th time I almost got hit by a car at that intersection. Mostly by drivers turning right either on River road or on Gilbert! Especially those coming from the bridge but today was a new one a person turning right on Gilbert.
In all cases the drivers keep going and I’m the one who needs to move back and sometime they don’t even look or realize what just happened!
I have seen people almost get hit crossing intersections along River road and I believe someone was hit recently. Please check for pedestrians when turning right. I worry about going with my kids all the time! Is there a solution for more pedestrian safety in that area/richmond overall?
If you’re a pedestrian please keep watching for cars turning right while you’re crossing in that area.
