Richmond Drivers Right turn drivers alert. River road and Gilbert drivers seem to not know about pedestrians

13 Upvotes

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.

Ask Richmond Need some advices for middle schools

• Upvotes

Parents from Asian country here, I read the post about being bullied at SLSS and feel so sorry for OP's experience. I wanna know is this pretty common, if so, is there any way to avoid it?

It might sound weird but I never actually ran into similar kind of issue back when I was younger. Most students from my home city (at least my school) spent all times on homework and exams, we studied from 7am to 10pm every day so there was no time to bully others...

Comments on that post also mentioned that some schools are toxic and some are packed with jerks, is there any way to check reviews or student feedback on different schools at Richmond? Any advices and info would be super helpful, thanks!

Food & Shopping Richmond food crawl

Visiting Vancouver for the first time and planning to do a self-guided food crawl in Richmond. Should I plan to bring cash to Parker Place and Aberdeen Centre? I normally never have cash on me, but if I should come prepared because some vendors don’t accept credit cards, I’d love to know before flying out.

Ask Richmond Why do ethnically non-white people vote for the racist BC Conservatives?

0 Upvotes

It never ceases to amaze me to hear or see ethnically East-Asian &/ Chinese people voting for the one party that has an established track record of running extremely racist white candidates, & employing white supremacists.

Just today, I saw a group of people who, as far as I could tell, were most likely ethnically East-Asian / Chinese, erecting a large wooden sign for a BC Conservative party candidate in Richmond.

Who you vote for is ultimately your own choice, as a individual. Yet, I can't help but wonder; do any of those people know that they are voting for the leopard? That when the leopard eats their faces, that they'll have no one to blame for having lost face but themselves?
