Congestions at St.Machar, Gt Northern rd as well as kittybrewster park an extreme discomfort that can be easily avoided by reopening the bus lane to all traffic.

]]> Wed, 7 Dec 2016 04:01:26 UTC 20929723 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20922483?utm_medium=rss The traffic management has been absolutely a joke in ACC. First the Broad St now the Bedford Road. Gt northern road has become a nightmare for queues since the closure, Kittybrewster is also feeling the pinch since the traffic can exit only one way out. Make an alternative before closing one road.

It took me 10 more minutes to get to the dentist than it should have which caused me to be late. Luckily I do not rely on taxis or I would have been raging having to pay that difference. I use more petrol to get where I want to go now because of this stupid restriction.

As someone who stays in the north of the city, my normal route is head to St Machar Drive for Great Northern Road.
No signs, even though there are two lanes at the exit of the retail park. One for Kittybrewster, one for St Machar Drive.
Suggest reading the Road Traffic Act, Schedule 3 Part 2, which provides details of signage. 33 through to 40 covers buses. NOT ONE SIGN IN BEDFORD ROAD.
Also the camera which took the picture is BEFORE the warning signs for cameras,

]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2016 12:53:11 UTC 20813396 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20809769?utm_medium=rss Instead of having 1 bottleneck they now have 2 or 3 at St Machar roundabout/Powis terrace /Bedford Bridge and also on King street. It is increasing car pollution in having to drive an Extra mile at a snail`s pace. It has also increased traffic outside a primary school and also a residential area

]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2016 10:18:33 UTC 20809769 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20806789?utm_medium=rss Bedford Road has been a road for as long as I can remember. It was a stupid decision to close it!

To also be fined for accidentally going through is disgusting. My poor mother got fined twice within thirty minutes. Another example of why Aberdeen Council needs to introduce a new modern thinking committee. One which is more in touch with the peoples' opinions and one which actually makes sensible decisions.

The new bridge was built to try to ease this very matter; blocking off a route to it does not solve any traffic problem - it just moves the traffic elsewhere to create further chaos.
