There used to be pretty regular enforcement at this intersection. Haven’t seen anyone there in months. NW Police need to set up at that corner and enforce the light.

My baby and I nearly got hit two weeks ago at this very light. I juts happened to not trust someone to stop and sure enough she sped through the corner and almost hit us. It was only because I triple checked before entering the street that I didn’t have the stroller two feet ahead. I cross here every single day, twice a day, and it’s BAD.

I'd like to also complain about this. I am so tired of a***holes blowing through this intersection. There are 3 signs and multiple lights and people just fly through this. I wish I were exaggerating but I see it at least 50% of the time that light turns.

If NWPD doesn't step up and enforce, and if the city is not going to do something to make this intersection safer for pedestrians and cyclists, someone is going to get killed here, mark my words.

The blind corner is a massive safety hazard.

First step is that the signs need to change to NO RIGHT ON RED instead of "right turn on green arrow".

Then there needs to be regular NWPD enforcement with ZERO TOLERANCE for people running the light.

Then there needs to be a complete re-engineering of this intersection - if the city needs to cut that whole hill down to make it more visible, then that's what needs to happen.

Yes, we know the new bridge will fix this issue, but that's still 5+ years away. This needs to be addressed now.

And no, we're not going to fill out a "transportation action request". This is a significant public safety issue. I'm not even sure why this is assigned to Electrical now; they can't solve this, the lights are working as intended. Unless Electrical is going to start adding giant strobe lights like they do at some of the other crosswalks?

It's a signage issue, a safety issue, and an enforcement issue.

This corner is one that I risk my life at everyday as I commute to work on my bike. It is at minimum once a week that I have a very close call to getting hit by cars running this red light. I have repeatedly had people honk horns and give me the finger even though I have the walk sign and they have a red light. New Westminster police need to do more patrols here like they did around the beginning of they year. This is a huge hazard area and someone is going to get seriously hurt at this corner.

@brom29 this is also scary to me as a friend of mine bikes his infant to daycare every day using a Chariot trailer on his bike and I am worried that one day, the driver misses the bike but hits the trailer... at least with the stroller I am going slow and can see everything around me.
