The city is served by a network of well-maintained roads, all clearly signed. From the airport, take the A96 into the city centre. The A90, which is notorious for the number of speed cameras in use, is the main route north or south. The west of the city is served by the A93, which can be severely affected by snow in the winter. Major roads are gritted in cold weather, but away from the main routes, you should use snow tyres and drive with care. Snow gates are used to close mountain roads during heavy snowfalls, with online information regularly updated. Parking in the city centre includes on-street metered parking, and pay and display carparks. Considerable savings can be made by pre-booking. Two Park and Ride sites are also popular, particularly at the weekend.

Prior to this, Aberdeen's reputation was built on its trawler industry.
