Back-to-school traffic jam

This being the first week of school, there are traffic jams everywhere near the schools. Especially primary schools. The new-to-school and back-to-school crowd is really crazy. Parents who are new to the school simply park everywhere as they are not familiar with the place yet. Add salt to the wound, there is a contractor working on the drain near little princess' school. So a portion of the area where some parents used to park is off-limits. Ended up with MORE JAM. Hope that next week everything back to normal and traffic jam will reduce. But my personal fear is that Chinese New Year is coming soon, and folks working elsewhere are returning home, adding more to the back-to-school jam. Peeps, please be considerate to the parents near school area. AND DRIVE CAREFULLY! The crowd usually disperses 10 minutes after parents pickup the children.
