Cargnacco develops through four main roads from Piazza IV Novembre. Towards east, Via Manzoni passes by the old elementary school and the rectory. The latter is located close to the old church and the local playground. Via Manzoni crosses Via Leonardo da Vinci at the main square, where the national temple "Madonna del Conforto" is located, which is dedicated to the soldiers who died at the Eastern Front. Via Buttrio also leaves Piazza IV Novembre towards east, passing by the old well, and crossing Via Leonardo da Vinci at the old country residence of the count Della Torre of Villalta, commonly referred to as “Palačat”. Via Buttrio continues towards the Z.I.U. industrial area, whereas Via Leonardo da Vinici continues towards Lumignacco, passing by the Romanello sport centre and the village's celebrations ground. Two more roads start from Piazza IV Novembre. Via Dante Alighieri leads briefly towards south, and then to the graveyard. Via Galileo Galilei leads towards west and then north, branching into Via San Giorgio, which leads to the flyover over the A23 highway and Terenzano, and Via Giosuè Carducci, which leads to the Casa Rossa crossroad, where Via Giuseppe Verdi, Via Tomba Antica, and county road 94 meet.
