The current Pittodrie CPZ restrictions only happened quite recently - What 2003/2004? They were only at the initial proposal stage when I left the area in early 2003. Plenty people have lived there a lot longer than that. And at the time, there may not have been many other choices for a lot of folk - IIRC, something like 70% of the city's single person council accomodation is in that area. They have begun repainting lines around RGU/Gallery recently - And the new lines are egally compliant as well so far. Well done! There were two pairs of proper traffic wardens and police officers out there at lunch time today ticketing and moving-on traffic mercilessly - Which was a surprise for the twat in the go-faster striped car who squeezed himself into the motorbike bay!
