Deeside Drive etc. – Proposed lengths of prohibition of waiting

There have been ongoing concerns from residents with respect to commuters parking on Deeside Drive and surrounding streets; the commuters concerned most likely being associated with the Robert Gordon University and parking in the area to avoid the fees associated with the established controlled parking zones in Garthdee. With respect to this issue, there were modest lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time established at the southern end of Deeside Drive a few years ago, however, concerns have remained. Beyond the issues raised over commuter associated vehicles, visitors to the St Francis of Assis RC Church have also been highlighted, where at times the positions of some parked vehicles may cause difficulties for residents, visitors and other vehicles servicing the area. Of further note is Deeside Park where parking has been observed that would obstruct large vehicles servicing the area, such as refuse and delivery type, while residents have also highlighted fears over emergency vehicles being obstructed.

Given the ongoing concerns, it is proposed to establish further lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time on Deeside Drive, the lengths concerned will ensure this main thoroughfare that serves the area can comfortably be negotiated, while still retaining significant lengths of on- parking capacity on its western side. On its western side, there would also be a 12m length of prohibition of waiting (single yellow line) adjacent to the church, operational on any day between the hours of 8am and 6pm, this measure will provide a section dedicated for vehicles picking up / dropping off / loading. While on Deeside Park restrictions will prevent / mitigate the possibility of obstructive parking.

Implementation Costs – £1806.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £1746.00 every 5 years for lining / £30 every ten years for sign-plate.

Two Mile Cross – Proposed length of ‘School Keep Clear’ prohibition of stopping

Officers received reports of unsafe driving practices at Kaimhill School. It was reported that parents park inappropriately in the surrounding streets and also travel at inappropriate speed during school pick up and drop off hours. Roads Officers carried out a survey to this effect.

During the survey, officers observed there are 4 entrances to the school, these entrances are off Pitmedden Crescent, Pitmedden Terrace, Garthdee Drive and Two Mile Cross. Vehicles were seen waiting at the school’s entrance on Two Mile Cross; this is a narrow road that allows vehicles to be parked only on one side of the road. Double parking at the entrance impairs visibility and causes obstruction for pupils, parents, pedestrians and other vehicles, this practice also results in cluster and disorder at this entrance. It was observed that this is particularly prevalent on days with bad weather conditions.

There was no obstruction observed at the entrance off Pitmedden Crescent, Pitmedden Terrace and Garthdee Drive; we believe it is because they are protected by “School Keep Clear” markings. For this reason, officers are proposing the introduction of a prohibition of stopping “School Keep Clear” marking at the entrance of Kaimhill School off Two Mile Cross; operational Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. This will help improve safety and visibility at this entrance.

Implementation Costs – £380.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £380.00 every 5 years

Broomhill Road - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

Our attention has been drawn to a section of Broomhill Road, northwest side, between its junction with Gray Street and Hammersmith Road. This is the section adjacent to Broomhill Primary School.

Vehicles have been seen to park on the section between the bus stop and the existing double yellow lines. Parents have highlighted that vehicles park in this section during school drop off / pick up hours causing obstruction, especially with the bus stops on both sides of the road. It is therefore proposed the existing prohibition of waiting at any time ‘double yellow lines’ is extended to the bus stop.

Estimated cost: £60

Estimated maintenance cost: £60 every 5 years.

Bridge of Don Elected Members: Alison Alphonse / Sarah Cross / Jessica Mennie /John Reynolds

Dubford Bus Gate – Proposed Exemption of Private Hire Cars

Officers propose to include Private Hire Vehicles within the vehicle categories exempt from the existing Dubford Road Bus Gate restriction; this proposal is intended to facilitate the passage of these public transport vehicles when serving properties within the Dubford development.

Implementation Costs – £1000 Estimated maintenance costs – No change from existing

Clashieknowe – Proposed Mandatory 20mph speed limit

Concerns have been raised by local residents regarding the speed of vehicles within this area. The existing alignment and geometry of the roads already limit excessive vehicular speed. As such officers propose the introduction of a mandatory 20mph speed limit to reinforce the low speed environment and improve the amenity of the area through which the road runs.

Implementation Costs – £1000 Estimated maintenance costs – £300 every 10 years

Dyce / Bucksburn / Danestone Elected Members: Gill Al-Samarai / Barney Crockett / Neil MacGregor / Avril MacKenzie

Kepplehills Road – Proposed lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time

Concerns have been raised regarding vehicles parking in proximity to the junction at Kepplehills Road / Drive. Vehicles parked in such a manner cause difficulty for all road users by limiting visibility and obstructing safe pedestrian / vehicular movements. It is therefore proposed to introduce certain lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time at this location to stop such obstructive parking.

Officers note that there is junction protection at a nearby location, but other junctions in the vicinity do not have restrictions. It is therefore proposed to establish restrictions at two other junctions to ensure they and their dropped kerb crossing points remain clear of parked vehicles.

Estimated Cost: £350.

Estimated Maintenance Cost: £100 every 10 years.

Bankhead Industrial Estate (Bankhead Avenue) – Traffic Management Restrictions

Concerns have been raised about vehicles parking on the internal road in the Sclattie Quarry / Bankhead Industrial estate. Vehicles have been parked on sections where the road is narrow and there is limited visibility, the can obstruct the movements of larger vehicles who require access in and out of the industrial estate and is therefore a concern in terms of disruption and road safety.

Furthermore, it has been witnessed that vehicles are often parking in turning heads preventing the use of these facilities. Additionally, vehicles have also regularly been witnessed parking on areas of greenspace. Vehicles parked on the grass section are causing damage to the grass and may damage the kerbs by taking access off the public road where there is no approved crossing point (dropped kerbs). Businesses in the area have been written to advise that vehicles should not parked like this, but the practice has continued.

It is therefore proposed to introduce certain lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time (double yellow lines) to prevent obstructive parking. It is also proposed to introduce a prohibition on parking on the verge to ensure the grass area remains free of vehicles. A small section of parking in front of the garages will have a timed Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm no waiting restriction.

Estimated cost: £500

Estimated maintenance cost: £200 every 10 years.

Kirkhill Drive – Proposed length of prohibition of waiting at any time

Concerns have been raised about vehicles parking opposite a junction on Kirkhill Drive; this being in the context of large / heavy goods vehicles that regularly negotiate the junction. Accordingly, it is proposed a length of prohibition of waiting at any time should be established to prevent parking on this length of road.

Estimated cost: £180

Estimated maintenance cost: £180 every 5 years.

Aberdeen City Council / Ogilvie Homes Development – Wellheads Avenue, Dyce – Proposed lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time, 20mph speed limit, ‘Car Club’ parking bays and Disabled ‘Blue Badge’ parking bays

Ogilvie Construction is developing land adjacent to Wellheads Avenue, on behalf of Aberdeen City Council, to create new housing. In this respect, it is appropriate a formal 20mph speed limit zone should be established for the development where roads are designated as low speed residential type. There are also proposed lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time to prevent indiscriminate parking and exclusive parking bays for ‘Car Club’ vehicles and vehicles associated with disabled ‘Blue Badge’ holders.

Implementation costs: Not applicable as established by the developer. Estimated maintenance costs: £630 every five years for lining / £720 every ten years for signs.

George Street / Harbour Elected Members: Dell Henrickson / Ryan Houghton / Michael Hutchison / Sandra MacDonald

Queen Street, City Centre – Proposed parking bay for the exclusive use of Police Scotland vehicles

With part of Police Scotland’s operations base shifting to Marischal College, it has been identified a dedicated police vehicle parking bay on Queen Street would be crucial in providing officers with direct access to a vehicle that can swiftly egress Queen Street onto Broad Street. It is therefore proposed an existing 12m length of ‘pay & display’ parking be replaced with an exclusive bay for police vehicles.

Implementation costs: Not applicable as Police Scotland will meet the costs associated with establishing the necessary signs / lines.

Estimated maintenance costs: £200 every 5 years for lining / £60 every 10 years for sign (would be reviewed with Police Scotland in terms of ongoing maintenance).

Hazlehead / Queen’s Cross / Countesswells Elected Members: John Cooke / Martin Greig / Claire Imrie / Jennifer Stewart

Kirkwood Homes Development, Countesswells - Pine Tree Gardens, Pine Tree Place, Pine Tree View and Pine Tree Way – Proposed 20mph Zone

Kirkwood Homes have developed an area of land to the south of the ongoing Countesswells Housing Development. In this respect, it is appropriate a formal 20mph speed limit zone should be established for these roads which are designated as low speed residential type.

Implementation costs: Not applicable as established by the developer. Estimated maintenance costs: £480 every ten years.

Hilton / Woodside / Stockethill Elected Members: Neil Copland / Lesley Dunbar / Freddie John

Tillydrone / Woodside – Proposed 20mph Zone

Following on from work with the community, Living Streets and as part of the Sustrans Tilly-Wood Project, Aberdeen City Council proposes to extend the existing mandatory 20mph speed limit in Tillydrone and Woodside in order to preserve and improve the amenity of the areas through which these roads run.

Implementation Costs – £10000 Estimated maintenance costs – £4000 every 10 years

Ashgrove Place - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

Concerns have been raised about inappropriate parking practice on Ashgrove Place, southeast side, section protected by single yellow line (Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm waiting restriction). Some residents/visitors have been parking on the pavement and grass verge within this section, thereby causing damage to the grass and obstruction of the footway / pavement, they also park in close proximity to the junction causing obstruction and impaired visibility. To ensure road safety for pedestrians and drivers, it is proposed to revoke the existing Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm waiting restriction and introduce a prohibition of waiting restriction at any time instead.

Implementation Costs – £500 Estimated maintenance costs – £500 every 5 years

Clifton Road - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

The Traffic Management and Road Safety Team has received reports of dangerous driving practice at Woodside School. Parents picking up / dropping off at inappropriate locations conflicting with revised pedestrian access points within the school. Officers have visited the area and have identified areas where a length of prohibition of waiting at any time and a no stopping ‘school keep clear’ restriction are required. As such Aberdeen City Council proposes to implement these restrictions to improve visibility and road safety outside Woodside School.

Implementation Costs – £300.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £300.00 every 5 years

Kincorth / Nigg / Cove Elected Members: Sarah Duncan / Alex Nicoll / Miranda Radley / Philip Sellar

Charleston Road - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

Aberdeen City Council has been notified of road safety concerns at Charleston School. We were informed that parents travel at speed and park inappropriately in the surrounding streets during school pick up and drop off hours. A parking survey was carried out in response to this report. During the survey, Officers identified areas where lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time (double yellow lines) are required.

First is the section on the west side of Charleston Road, between Charleston Walk and Charleston Crescent, this section also has a pedestrian refuge island. For information, Charleston Road is a local distributor road that serves traffic of varying types and is also a bus route. At the time of the survey, vehicles were seen parked close to the refuge island (crossing point), this caused obstruction and impaired visibility, also, vehicles travelling north had to drive on the wrong side of the road to pass parked vehicles. Parking in this location also resulted in traffic build up. The second location is the section west of Charleston School’s car park and lastly is a section on the east side of Charleston Road, north of its northern junction with Charleston Primary School Car Park.

The proposed measures will promote visibility and road safety in the area.

Implementation Costs – £480.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £480.00 every 5 years

Redmoss Road - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

Some residents of Redmoss Road have raised road safety concerns about the parking of cars on Redmoss Road; the suggestion being they have been associated with football supporters attempting to view football matches at Balmoral Stadium. This section of the road is narrow and parking on it could obstruct residents and emergency vehicles. It is therefore proposed to extend lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time. This will remove the problem and ensure this section of Redmoss Road is kept clear at all times.

Implementation Costs – £300.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £300.00 every 5 years

Muir Homes ‘Newton of Charleston – The Clachan’ Development – Old Stonehaven Road / Redmoss Road and roads internal to the development - Proposed 30mph and 20mph speed limits

Muir Homes is developing on land adjacent to the Old Stonehaven Road, north of Wellington Road. In recognition of both the new junction that will serve the development and the increasing residential use of this section of the Old Stonehaven Road, it is proposed a 30mph speed limit be established from its junction with Wellington Road, while for consistency the adjacent section of Redmoss Road, to the point where it is closed to through traffic, would also be included. It is also proposed a 20mph Zone be established with respect to the internal roads that serve this residential housing development.

Implementation Costs – Not applicable as established by the developer. Estimated maintenance costs – £780 every 10 years

Tillydrone / Seaton / Old Aberdeen Elected Members: Ross Grant / Alexander McLellan / Jim Noble

Tillydrone / Woodside – Proposed 20mph scheme

Following on from work with the community, Living Streets and as part of the Sustrans Tilly- wood Project, Aberdeen City Council proposes to extend the existing mandatory 20mph speed limit in Tillydrone and Woodside in order to preserve and improve the amenity of the areas through which these roads run.

Implementation Costs – £10000 Estimated maintenance costs – £4000 every 10 years

Gort Road – Proposed “At Any Time” waiting restrictions

Concerns have been raised by local residents regarding the safety of pedestrians crossing Gort Road at its junction, outside no. 14-24 Gort Road. Existing prohibition of waiting at any time restrictions are less than the 10m stated within the Highway Code and vehicles are parking up to the end of the existing restrictions, reducing visibility for, and of, pedestrians crossing at this location. Officers propose to extend the existing waiting restrictions to 10m to reduce the likelihood of any danger arising at this junction.

Implementation Costs – £60 Estimated maintenance costs – £60 every 5 years

Midstocket / Rosemount Elected Members: Bill Cormie / Jenny Laing / Tom Mason

Union Terrace - Proposed restrictions as a result revised road layout associated with Union Terrace Gardens Project

As part of the Union Terrace Gardens Project changes are being made to the Union Terrace layout. Accordingly, the existing restrictions have been reviewed and it is proposed to establish the following traffic management measures: -

• lengths of prohibition of waiting at any time; • lengths of prohibition of loading operating at certain times; • Disabled Parking Bays; • ‘Car Club’ Parking Bays; and • Loading Bays

Implementation Costs – Costs met by development, Estimated maintenance costs – £2700 every 5 years for lining / £800 every 10 years for signs.

Torry / Ferryhill Elected Members: Yvonne Allan / Christian Allard / Alan Donnelly / Audrey Nicoll

Grampian Road - Proposed ‘At any time’ waiting restrictions

Roads Officers received a complaint about the damage local buses cause to vehicles parked close to a bus stop on Grampian Road. This bus stop is opposite properties number 85 to 89 Grampian Road. After investigating the matter, we understand it can be challenging for a bus driver to pull out of the bus bay due to cars parked directly adjacent. Pulling out of this bus bay can be particularly challenging as prior to this the bus driver has to align with the edge of the kerb to pick up / drop off wheelchair, pram users etc. It is therefore proposed to extend the double yellow lines on the east side of Grampian Road, from its junction with Grampian Place, northwards, for a distance of 12 metres. While it will be disappointing to lose on-street parking capacity, the ‘double yellow’ lines will ensure buses can safely exit the bus stop area.

Implementation Costs – £80.00 Estimated maintenance costs – £80.00 every 5 years
