Aberdeenshire: New B Roads
B9144: Blackhall Road and West High Street, Inverurie, previously the B9170. Also, the B9001 has been rerouted onto Burghmuir Drive with North Street being downgraded to class III.
B9172: Aberdeen Road east of Huntly, but only as far as the railway station just before Bogie Bridge. The remainder of the former A920 along Bogie Street and Duke Street towards The Square has become unclassified.
B9173: George V Avenue and Gordon Street, Huntly, previously the A97.
B9178: South Bay Access Road, Peterhead, previously unclassified. This number appears to clash with the existing B9178 at Dulnain Bridge, often mapped as a spur of the A938. Perhaps the latest addition to SABRE’s long list of duplicated numbers...?

According to the wiki there aren’t any known former allocations of the B9144, B9172 or B9173 numbers, but the duplication of the B9178 number is interesting and may raise the question of whether the “old” one is really only seen as part of the A938. I have yet to see any of these new numbers on any maps, although the old A920 to the east of Huntly has in the past been shown as non A-class on some maps.
