It is also connected to Fényeslitke by road 3839 and intersects with road 4145.
Among the domestic railway lines, the town is located on the (Budapest–)Szolnok–Debrecen–Nyíregyháza–Záhony railway line on its eastern border. However, there is no railway station in the town; the nearest railway connections are the Kisvárda-Hármasút stop and Fényeslitke railway station, both located approximately 3-4 kilometers away from the center of Döge.
