A90, B9127 | |||
Kinettles Road End was originally a T junction, but is now a stretched GSJ where the B9127 crosses the A90 dual carriageway. Kinettles lies off to the west along the B9127, so it is the northern part of the junction which originally carried the name. This now provides three of the four sliproads, with both A90 northbound slips meeting the B9127 immediately to the west of the dual carriageway. The B9127 then passes under the modern road to meet what is probably the original line of the A90, although it is difficult to be certain whether it was moved east to accommodate the dual carriageway. The southbound offslip comes in here, having diverged from the A90 at Spittalburn, and collecting up some farm access roads to make it two-way by the time it reaches the mainline of the B9127. The two routes then run south, alongside each other, before the short southbound onslip turns right. The B9127 turns round to head east here, with a second right turn connecting up to the rest of the old A90, which continues south across the old Invereighty Bridge as property access.
Before the dual carriageway was built, the junction was two separate T junctions, with the B9127 having a short multiplex with what was then the A929 between them. The northern T junction seems to have always been called Kinettles Road End, but it is not clear if the southern junction had a name.

There are also a couple of dead ends serving farms and properties otherwise cut off by the construction of the dual carriageway.
