It was the week before Christmas and the roads were all calm, with just a few spots likely to be congested.
Last week’s weather bomb is still affecting the B974 between Banchory and Fettercairn.

In Aberdeen there’s long-term roadworks on St Machar Drive in Tillydrone at the Bedford Road junction.
A diversion is still in place at Riverside Drive.
The usual congestion can be expected around Haudagain, Union Street, Holburn Street and the Beach Boulevard.
In Aberdeenshire one lane on the A90 at Stonehaven is closed for resurfacing during the night.
There’s also resurfacing work outside Peterhead, which could cause delays.
And in Keith temporary traffic lights are in place in both directions on Moss Street at the Bridge Street junction.
#A96 E/B at Moss St in Keith – Tempt traffic lights in place until 19th Dec between 9:30am and 4pm each day #ScottishWaterWorks
