Road Closures & Traffic Restrictions

THE ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL (MILLTIMBER SCHOOL, BINGHILL
ROAD AND AGRICOLA STREET, MILLTIMBER, ABERDEEN) (TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT) ORDER 2025
Aberdeen City Council proposes to introduce certain lengths of prohibition of
stopping ‘SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR’, operational Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm, on either side of
Agricola Street, this adjacent to the formalised crossing point and existing prohibition
of waiting at any time restrictions on Binghill Road, Milltimber. The proposal will
improve visibility of the formalised crossing point for drivers approaching and
similarly give pedestrians clear visibility when utilising the crossing point.
These have been proposed due to complaints from members of the public in relation
to indiscriminate parking and congestion, especially around school pick up and drop
off times, with continued concerns about child safety in and around the access to
Milltimber School.
These proposals, beyond deterring indiscriminate parking in and around the school
entrance, will also protect the existing formalised crossing points on Agricola Street,
as well as the formalised crossing point on Binghill Road south of its junction with
Agricola Street, thereby ensuring adequate visibility on all approaches,

THE ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL (KIRK BRAE, CULTS, ABERDEEN)
(TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT) ORDER 202(X)
Members of the public have highlighted a road safety concern on Kirk Brae. Officers
have been made aware of the danger of parked vehicles on the bend immediately
northwest of Friarsfield Road. These parked vehicles are creating an obstruction to
the free flow of traffic and effectively reduce the forward visibility of traffic travelling in
the opposite direction (and vice versa), thereby presenting northbound drivers
difficulties when attempting to overtake these parked vehicles in a safe manner.
To improve road safety on Kirk Brae, officers propose to establish a permanent
Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for an additional length of prohibition of waiting at
any time on its west side, between its junctions with Kirk Terrace and Kirk Place. For
information, the additional length is currently in place using a temporary TRO on the
grounds of road safety.

There will be temporary traffic signals on North Deeside Road, Milltimber starting 55m west of the junction with Contlaw Brae and continuing east for around 290m. These signals will operate from 09:00 on the 18th of August until 13:30 on the 9th of January while works are carried out to install new utilities and new junctions. Any queries regarding these signals can be directed to Hatton at philmccutcheon@hattontraffic.co.uk
