September 2025

Aberdeenshire Council has confirmed it will be introducing permanent 20mph speed limits in built up areas within its communities.

From Monday 22nd September 2025, road users will have to lower their speed on many routes previously covered by 30mph speed limits.  The decision follows the Scottish Government's commitment to see all appropriate roads in built-up areas have safer speed limits by the end of 2025.  This national strategy seeks to introduce a consistency for 20mph speed limits across the country.  Associated costs with the implementation of this programme are covered by Transport Scotland.
