The character of St Andrews
The town centre is small and largely walkable, with North Street, South Street and Market Street forming the historic core close to the university buildings. The Old Course and the clubhouses along the links have their own parking arrangements rather than street kerbside, and access tightens considerably during championship weeks when road closures reshape the whole western approach. Term-time brings its own congestion around the halls of residence.

- Championship weeks bring road closures around the links — routes are planned well in advance.
- Leuchars, five miles out, is the nearest railway station to St Andrews.
- University term-time brings short congestion near the halls of residence and North Street.
