Evening Rush Hour on the Ring Road
Image: © Colin Smith Taken: 6 Aug 2009
Aberdeen traffic suffered through not having a modern ring road to take the strain off the 1930s ring road which has now been engulfed by the westward advance of new housing estates. The traffic here is queuing on South Anderson Drive. Ahead is the Bridge of Dee bottleneck. The situation was alleviated by the construction of the Aberdeen Western Perimeter Road (AWPR) which was finally opened from 2018.
