North East Trunk Roads

The North East trunk road network serves some of Scotland’s northern major cities including Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.

In the North East there are busy motorways serving over 35,000 vehicles a day to single lane trunk roads through small towns. The network also operates through nine different regions in the north east of Scotland.
