Link between Forth Road Bridge and Perth, meaning that it is the main road between Edinburgh and the north of Scotland.

The spur to the eastern side of Perth originally held the number M85, and the M90 number was originally used solely for the western spur.

A section of M90 less than 2 miles long, from junction 1 to a temporary tie-in at what is today the B981/B916 junction at Duloch, was the first motorway in Scotland. (The B981 was then the A90).

Broxden Roundabout

Main Article: Broxden Roundabout

The Broxden Roundabout is the northernmost motorway junction in the Great Britain. Found in Perth, it is one of Scotland's busiest and most important junctions. The A9 heads north for its journey to Inverness & the far north of Scotland at this roundabout, whilst southbound the A9 is signed for Stirling and Glasgow and the A93 takes the A9's old route though Perth. The M90 spur meanwhile takes traffic to Dundee, Aberdeen or Edinburgh.

Kinross services

Main Article: Kinross services

Kinross services are the most northerly services in Great Britain, being located just off junction 6 of the M90. As befits a relatively quiet motorway, it is a very small single-site MSA.
