The M9 and the A720 have also seen surface water which has caused disruption and delays.
Motorists have been warned of potentially difficult driving conditions and delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has also issued 10 flood alerts and 20 warnings across Scotland.
River levels are expected to rise as a result of heavy overnight rainfall, with levels peaking during daylight hours on Friday.
Network Rail warned speed restrictions could be in place which will extend journey times as temperatures fall to minus 11C in some areas of the Highlands.
Police Scotland said there is a high risk of disruption and urged people to plan ahead and drive to the conditions if they have to travel.
The Scottish Government said the Multi-Agency Response Team will monitor conditions throughout the amber warning period.
Superintendent Stewart Mackie, of Police Scotland's Road Policing Division, said: "An amber weather warning has been issued for heavy rainfall and flooding across southern Scotland, and people should consider delaying any travel plans until conditions improve.
"If your journey is essential, please plan ahead by making sure you have sufficient fuel and supplies in your vehicle, a charged mobile telephone and always drive as the conditions allow.
