Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when a survey on traffic volume was last carried out on the Aberdeen - Elian - Peterhead - Fraserburgh road; and with what result.

Mr. William Ross

Surveys of traffic volumes were last carried out in August 1975. These indicate that traffic is continuing to increase on this road at a higher rate than the national average. The traffic levels range from about 11,000 per day north of Bridge of Don to about 3,000 vehicles per day near Fraserburgh.
