Transport Rail and Bus New Southgate railway station is situated on Station Road, on the border with neighbouring Friern Barnet. The station is served by Great Northern and Thameslink trains, which link the area to destinations in Hertfordshire to the north, including Potter's Bar and Welwyn Garden City. Southbound services travel towards King's Cross or Moorgate (in the City) via Finsbury Park. The station was built in 1851 and its name has changed several times over the years, often sharing its name with Colney Hatch and Friern Barnet. Arnos Grove is the closest tube station, on the Piccadilly line. This line too runs southbound towards Finsbury Park and King's Cross, although trains continue towards the West End and West London, and Heathrow Airport. London Buses routes 34, 184, 221, 232, 251, 298, and 382 pass through the area. Bus 34 runs overnight on Friday and Saturday nights between Barnet and Walthamstow Central. Night bus N91 runs between Cockfosters and Trafalgar Square nightly. A spur of Crossrail 2 is planned to terminate at New Southgate, if the project goes ahead. Road The A406 North Circular Road runs along the southern edge of New Southgate. The road links the area directly to the M1, M11, and M4 roads, and to major areas elsewhere in London such as Chiswick, Wembley, and Ilford.

Inrix estimated in 2019 that 43 hours are 'lost' in traffic jams in the area each year. Other main routes include the A109 (south-north from Wood Green to Whetstone), the A1003 (westbound to Friern Barnet and North Finchley), and the A1110 (eastbound to the North Circular Road).
