Beacon Hill is serviced by Sydney Buses. For many years there have been plans put forward, then withdrawn again for a heavy rail line to be added to the CityRail network to service the northern beaches. Most residents therefore drive motor vehicles to get around. Since 1980 traffic congestion has steadily increased on the roads around Beacon Hill. Some road closures have been implemented, notably the closures of Tristram Road and Boyer Road, to prevent rat running traffic. Traffic calming devices were installed and remain an issue for local transportation reliant primarily on private motor vehicles. In recent years, with the opening of new schools and facilities in the Oxford Falls valley area (to the west and north west of Beacon Hill), traffic volume has increased on the very narrow and dangerous Oxford Falls Road. This has become an increasing concern for local residents of the area as the population has increased and medium density housing policies deployed.
