      I send my DD to school just with a byebye wave normally. I saw a father sending his DD to school with a sweety kiss and warm byebye hug this morning...so sweet...I followed the way...It's so good a feeling. :lol:


      and the motorists behind jammed in the Q will likely throw their shoes at you instead of throwing kisses at you

      ....... just teasing :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

      Hehe, I'm not driving, will not cause any traffic jam here. 😉

        Hi cherryblossoms, talk to you NC and let yr NC bring this matter to TP..


        I agree with you that the traffic around Watten area is quite bizarre around 1pm. As pple use Watten Rise and Watten area like a place for them to U-turn into Dunearn Road..

        Actually the traffic warden from RGPS shld not be standing there to direct the traffic cos it will be seen as the only way to get out of the place is via that watten road..
        Talked to the MP before. Nothing has been done. Surprisingly, the NP turned a deaf ear. We have suggested to the Principal to situate the warden further down the road, and was turned down as well. I guess it's a case of out of sight out of mind. My friend made a mistake and got caught in the traffic once and was rushing off to pick up her daughter from another school. She simply parked her big SUV in the middle of the road and refused to move when the warden was just simply waving traffic on.

            Just googled. RGPS is under Tanjong Pagar GRC, MM Lee is also part of the team. If your MP does not work, try MM Lee's meet the people session. Please don't say I suggest one hor.

                MM Lee will not be there to listen to yr complain…


                I think the school shld send out a note to inform parents of the alternative discharge point outside the school.

                For eg. via Watten Rise –>Watten Estate Road (which is after Watten Park). I drove there once by mistake cos the traffic warden went off liao and i did not know how to get out of there area. And for those going up to Bt Timah they can use the Greenwood Ave.

                Try complain to MOE…

                  Rental is definitely high near the school. Another way is to find out where the last pickup points are for the buses and try to stay near there. I know Jurong East area is around 6.30am too.

                  The last time I enquired about Jurong East pickup, the driver said it is around 6am.....

                  Maybe they have changed this year...

                    I think how ever much letters sent out by the school will go straight to the rubbish bins by the parents. Complain to MOE is even more ineffective

                    Greenwood Ave is VERY narrow and very unwise, because many families also park outside their house...and more and more blurr parents will create havoc in the housing estate looking for an exit to Bukit Timah..

                    Call the principal, email the principal, take photos of culprit parents/cars, email them to TP, MP, Principal, and stomp (putting everyone one c.c.) ...I am sure it will be very effective to combat the issue

                      My suggestion of using the Greenwood Ave is meant for driver who wants to go to Bt Timah Road after picking up their daughter at RGPS.


                      The residents at Greenwood Ave does not own the road so they shld park their car within their compound. This is a public road and we can use it if need be.

                        how to go from Greenwood to Bukit Timah except through Sunset and Pine and Vanda ? blurr parents will get lost through the twist and turn of narrow roads, up hill and downhill....not a practical suggestion, imho, causing even more jams among the narrow roads, even though the resident don't own the roads, just be practical
