What time was it when u exit via Adam? I sent my boy to sch this morning, set off fm Hougang at 6.25, exit via Stevens Rd, reach HCI at 6.45am. I saw there was no Q at the turn into NYGP unlike last Mon, super long Q causing Adam rd exit to jam. Don't know if its cos' of rainy day or 1st day of sch, everybody ka lang ka bo.

exit PIE into adam rd abt 6.50 this morning, reach HCI bus stop at 7.00. i think traffic along bkt timah/dunearn this morning is less than mon/tue, dunno why... will continue to monitor for a while and see which is the best route/timing.

The traffic is bad on the opp side of HCI cos' a lot of cars turning into NYGH, NJC, RPS...
Dunnoleh, u make the right choice to drop yr girl at the bus stop outside HCI, faster to walk across the bridge than make a u-turn, the left lanes on the opp r too conjested. Rainy days also ok cos' its a sheltered overhead-bridge.

To avoid traffic - leave house at 6.15 am from CCK. The ride was a breeze - Reach school at 6.35 to 6.40 am. Got time to do Japanese homework some more.

unearthly hour of 5.45 am but children still have time for breakfast . My son can even read the latest sports news while munching down his bread. :lol:

fyi , my neighbour's son , a pr 4 child in the gifted program leaves the house at 6.00 am. The school bus arrives real early. :shock:

My hubby's logic is - Better to arrive early to spend time meaningfully rather than waste time in the car, waiting for the traffic jam to clear.

Anyway, they don't sleep late and have no problem waking up early.

yes, noticed traffic on NJC side really bad, especially the left lane, also many cars filling up the right lane on HCI side, u-turning into NYGH and NJC.

wonder if this situation is consistent year round? what's the experience of \"senior\" parents taking this route over the last few years? advice appreciated. [/code]

I'm glad someone started this topic. To go to HCI from the east via PIE, is it better exit at Steven's rd and use underpass at Farrer OR is it better to exit at Adam rd? I heard the jam is partly caused by cars turning right to Nanyang Primary along Bukit Timah Rd.

my girl in NJC JH1 this year.
coming from east via PIE, tried exit into bukit timah via;
eng neo(mon),
steven's(tue) and
adam rd(today).
best option via adam rd.
dropped my girl at the bus stop on HCI side,
cross o/hd bridge to bus stop adjacent to NYGH.
enter school via a small gate behind the bus stop.
traffic along bukit timah/dunearn is really terrible

Thanks for the info.

You also from the East ? What time you leave home ?

Thanks
