Haudagain Roundabout

If you look at the old map of Aberdeen, "Roy Highlands, 1747-52" there is a small settlement called "Hadagain" on the "Scatter Burn" just South of the weir on the river Don at Persley. The bend /fold on the river would be where the name originated. The Haudagain Roundabout is a roundabout in Aberdeen that bisects the A90 and A96. As all traffic going northbound to Inverness via the A96 or southbound to Dundee via the A90 must pass through this roundabout it is a notoriously busy and hazardous junction with large queues approaching all directions to the roundabout, especially during rush hour. It has been referred to as 'Scotland's worst roundabout'. In May 2011 it was crowned Britain's worst roundabout in Roundabout Idol 2011. The Magic Roundabout was voted top. The construction of Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is aimed at reducing the congestion due to traffic passing through Aberdeen. In addition improvements are planned to help ease the congestion at the roundabout.
