A989 road

The road has five major intersections (clockwise from the north): West Bridge Street (A85; crosses the River Tay via Smeaton's Bridge, leading east/west to and from Bridgend), South Street (A93; crosses the River Tay via the Queen's Bridge leading east/west to and from Bridgend), Edinburgh Road (A912; leading south), York Place (A93; leading west) and Barrack Street (A912; leading north).

Its name changes several times over its near two-mile course (again, clockwise from the north): in the vicinity of the North Inch, it is Atholl Street, becoming Charlotte Street to the east, then south onto Tay Street, which runs along the western banks of the Tay. Turning east at Tay Street's junction with Shore Road in the south, it becomes Marshall Place, then King's Place, as it passes the South Inch. Turning north at Perth railway station it becomes Leonard Street. Opposite Perth bus station, it turns east, becoming St Andrew Street briefly, then Caledonian Road.[3] Finally, in the northwestern corner of the city centre, the road becomes Atholl Street again.
