The barangay road network in San Francisco links to Sarrat's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Sarrat proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
