We classify noncomplete prime valency graphs satisfying the property that their automorphism group is transitive on both the set of arcs and the set of 2‐geodesics. We prove that either Γ is 2‐arc transitive or the valency p satisfies p ≡ 1 ( mod 4 ) , and for each such prime there is a unique graph with this property: it is a nonbipartite antipodal double cover of the complete graph K p + 1with automorphism group P S L ( 2 , p ) × Z 2and diameter 3.
