Traffic at NYGS, NJC & RGPS @ Bkt Timah Rd & Eng Neo

[Jennifer]

phankao:

If I were you, I won't bother using those little roads leading from Vanda to Hillcrest. Waste of time. It's a really big big roundabout way. You might as well, just turn onto Bukit Timah from Eng Neo for that short little drive to NJC. Even if have traffic jam also not as bad.

Agreed, but if you are looking for parking space, can consider this route.

The map shows Linden Drive just suddenly terminate so I thought I drive there and see whether can walk thru or not but I met up with a high fence, not possible to jump over leh. Hahahaha

:laugh:

Yeah must ask girl to take up Pole Vault as CCA so that can jump over the fence

Yup, you are right.

I tried driving thru those little roads this afternoon, went uphill, dowwnhill, left, right ... etc... & get lost myself :oops:

Of cos finally solved the maze ... but I think phankao is right, better to just turn onto Bukit Timah from Eng Neo Ave.

I was told, the main jam is at Eng Neo Ave, is that true ?

Thanks

Jennifer:

Will there be lotsa cars turning into Hillcrest?

I think for NJC better drop under/near the bridge. I think those parents of RGPS will turn into Hillcrest ... pls correct me if I am wrong ...

If NJC starts late, send your child a little bit later than 7.20 am. The jam should ease off a bit. The Hillcrest road should have been cleared by then. But do look out for sometime unusual long queue. If from far you can see rows of car lining up the left side before Hillcrest, then drop your child off at the bus stop.

I actually didn't see a queue of cars at Hillcrest when I drove by around 7.15am

Was it a schooling day when you did the \"test\" ?

Yes. I told you I did the test drives on 2 separate occasions during the 4th school term of the year in Sept & Oct.

You did ? Paiseh old apek like me got memory lapse. Hahaha :oops:

So, just to reconfirm,

a) your test also conclude that the jam along Bkt Timah Rd after turning left from Eng Neo Ave is not bad ? Can I know how long it takes from that corner to under the bridge at NJC ?

b) how many minutes it takes to drive the whole length of Eng Neo Ave ?

Thanks

Wah lao - then I *lao a-por* already, ah. My eldest older than your eldest, leh. haha.

Read the 1st page where you first asked this question on this topic.

I cannot remember the exact timings, but I think I left bishan around 6.50 or 6.55am and reach njc around 7.10 to 7.15am each time.

I remember using Eng Neo from Bishan took me less time than using the Bukit timah exit via Adam Rd.
