Transportation

The favored mode of transportation in Avon is very often driving. Nearby highways are moderately easy to access from any location in Avon, and it is especially convenient to access a place to park.

There are a few bus lines, and it is very convenient to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses. The bike is a sometimes poor mode of transportation in Avon because the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive, and there are a fair number of slopes. It is also occasionally challenging for pedestrians to navigate Avon as few common errands can be run without needing a car.
