The 148-year-old Antonio Da Silva High School in Dadar West has been witness to the ever increasing traffic around it. When the hub of Dadar attracted vendors to sell various kinds of goods, and the market grew, the hustle bustle around the school increased and with it rose the traffic chaos. The parents of students at the school have to brave the crowds to drop them to the institute and pick them up.

It is the presence of traffic marshals in front of the school, which has kept its buses, taxis and other vehicles moving. The school has a compound to accommodate parents who come to pick their children, so they need not wait on the road. Parents are happy that they are allowed to park their two-wheelers near the school while they pick up or drop their kids. Many prefer to take public transport such as BEST buses or trains. However the parking of the buses on an arterial road during the school leaving hours adds to woes of commuters.
