Slackbuie Roundabout lies on the A8082 to the south east of Inverness. It is where Inverness' Southern Distributor Road is crossed by the road leading to Slackbuie; Slackbuie Avenue to the north and Slackbuie Brae to the south. Whilst this is the line of a historic road, it has been entirely replaced by a modern distributor road, built after the SDR, to access modern housing developments in the Slackbuie area.
Whilst that route is unclassified, it seems to have taken over from the B861 as the main route to the City Centre and south to Inverarnie, as it takes priority over that route where the two converge. In contrast to most roundabouts along the B8082, there is also a fifth exit from the Slackbuie Roundabout, leading into the Fairways Business Park.
