The roadworks began on Friday and on Tuesday, the road was clear.

Social media has been inundated with complaints from local drivers.

One posted on a community Facebook page: “Thankfully the accident didn’t look like a bad one but this is already a terrible junction. Traffic backed up all through Boclair Road and Kessington with folk trying to avoid Asda roadworks.”

Another said: You turn right into Milngavie Road from Roman Road at your peril if the lights change.”
