The district can be accessed by road from Sisophon (48 km) and Bangkok (230 km). Ou Chrov district is similar in size to other Banteay Meanchey districts however it has a larger population due to its border crossing and related industry.^{[citation needed]}

National Highway 5 runs east to west across the district and ends in Phnom Penh. Although there is only one official border crossing in the district, numerous smaller roads in the district also run to various locations on the border.^[2]
