The two roadways intersect in Center Square. Both roads are mostly two-lane highways, though US 202 is currently under construction to become a four-lane divided highway throughout the township. Other key roads within the township include Penllyn-Blue Bell Pike and Walton Road. Butler Pike, North Wales Road, Township Line Road and Morris Road are all major roads that mainly form the boundaries of the township. [[Interstate 476]] (the Northeastern Extension of the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]]) passes through the township but, as it has no interchanges within the township boundaries, is not directly accessible. The township contains one airport, [[Wings Field]]. It is used for general aviation. Several train lines cross the township. There are no active passenger train stations within the township borders, but several are located in neighboring municipalities, including [[North Wales, Pennsylvania|North Wales]] and [[Ambler, Pennsylvania|Ambler]], which are both served by [[SEPTA Regional Rail]]'s [[Lansdale/Doylestown Line]].
