How do you think the AWPR should operate once open?

Aberdeen City Council is urging the public to voice their opinions on how best the AWPR should operate once it has been completed.

The local authority’s consultation on how people currently use transport in the Granite City and how this will change after the opening of the new bypass closes on Friday, March 31.

Traffic levels in the north east will change significantly as a result of the AWPR. The design of the new road means Aberdeen has effectively been split into sections, with traffic directed into these once the new route opens in 2018.

Motorists can use the AWPR to circumnavigate the city and will be able to use arterial roads to reach their destination.

This will cut the number of cross-city centre journeys and it’s therefore hoped it will reduce the amount of congestion from current levels.

The construction of the AWPR will also result in a change in journey times for Aberdeen motorists because a maximum 70mph speed limit will be in place as opposed to 40/30/20mph limits in the city.

With the bypass diverting traffic away from the city, it should make walking and cycling a more enticing proposition for the public which could result in an increase in cycle lanes and walking-friendly pavements around Aberdeen.

The council consultation has been designed to fit in with the City Centre Masterplan.

It is also part of the £3.2million CIVITAS PORTIS European Union grant awarded last year for a north east transport development aimed at improving travel in the region.
