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.

Aberdeen City Council has made the above-named order in terms of its powers under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Two small-scale traffic management measures have been proposed by Aberdeen City Council that concern the CBM area.

-It is proposed the section of Inchgarth Road Cults currently subject to a 40mph speed limit will be revoked in its entirety. Being within a system of streetlights, this would result in this section of road becoming a 30mph speed limit by default. The current stretch of road to which the 40mph speed limit applies is only 430 metres in length. Scottish Government / Transport Scotland guidance on setting local speed limits states that speed limits should be at least 600 metres in length; this provides consistency along a route and the avoidance of multiple changes over short distances.

-It is proposed that a 20mph speed limit is established on the recently built streets Woodlea Way, Woodlea Walk and Woodlea Wynd in Milltimber. The proposal is in-line with current Scottish Government / Transport Scotland guidance with respect to setting speed limits in built-up areas that are principally serving residents and the community, thereby providing a safer environment for all road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists. This proposal would ensure parity with the majority of residential streets in Milltimber, which already have a 20mph speed limit.

These proposals are expected to proceed to full statutory consultation with the public, when there will be an opportunity to comment.  It is expected that this next consultation phase will be launched on 17 November and will last until 9 December 2026.

CBMCC will update residents who wish to comment with consultation details.
