    Broxden Junction (also known as Broxden Roundabout or Broxden Interchange) is one of the busier and more important road junctions in Scotland. It is located on the outskirts of Perth, and is one of the city's two major roundabouts – the other being Inveralmond Roundabout, where the A9 meets the A912 Dunkeld Road, 2.3miles to the north-northwest. The roundabout, oval in shape, is an important hub of the Scottish road network, a major junction on the A9 north–south route, and the UK's northernmost motorway junction, being junction 12 of the M90 motorway.[1] [2] Prior to Dunfermline's ascension to city status, all of the seven cities in Scotland were signposted from its exits.

    Broxden is an interchange for several local bus and long-distance coach services, the latter provided by Scottish Citylink, Megabus, FlixBus, and Ember. There is a park and ride area with a local bus service to Perth city centre.

    The roundabout was originally designed with the future intention of connecting the northbound A9 and the M90, with the roundabout being replaced by a grade separated junction, and in 2008 Transport Scotland published proposals for the dualling of the A9 between Dunblane and Inverness including the replacement of Broxden Junction with a flyover.[3]
