The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is a key component in the proposals for the development of the Regional Transport Strategy in the North East of Scotland.

It will bring a range of benefits, both directly and through assisting in achieving other elements of the System.

• It will remove through traffic from the city
• It will relieve heavy traffic from unsuitable rural routes
• It will provide better access to and from the North of the area for business and commerce
• It will act as a distributor around the city linking park and ride sites
• It will provide the opportunity to reallocate road space to public transport, cyclists and pedestrian priorities

It is of strategic importance, not only for the immediate area, but also Scotland as a whole, the project will help tackle congestion, increase accessibility, sustain and enable devleopment, and improve the quality of life.
