A woman who walks along St Andrews Street most mornings said: “It’s been absolute chaos this morning.  

“People are sick of waiting which means they fly through red lights angering the drivers who have waited their turn.” 

A cyclist who exits the city centre along St Andrews Street as part of his commute said: “I hadn’t realised that it would be queued right back, I was waiting outside Open for what felt like a long time.
