Roads in the Philippines
Route 4, mostly known by their respective named segments, is a primary national road running within the province of Batangas. The Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (E2) mostly parallels the highway, and crosses each other at Lipa. The highway includes a short bypass route over the poblacion of Santo Tomas, that spurs from the main highway and joins Maharlika Highway at Santo Tomas Junction.
Route 4 is a 49 kilometers (30 mi) primary national road completely lying within Batangas. The route runs in a north-south orientation, and mostly running in residential barangays. On most of the route, the road is two to four lanes, other than the Ayala Highway segment, which has six lanes with a divider and a small degree of grade separation, and upgraded from an undivided four-lane highway. Many two-lane segments with increasing traffic are being widened to four lanes by adding new lanes through adding new lane lines, or paving the soft shoulders with concrete or asphalt.
Route 4 starts at Santo Tomas as a spur of Maharlika Highway, and enters the municipality's poblacion, or town center. Another road, built as a bypass to the route around town, also numbered 4, connects Maharlika Highway with the Route 4 mainline at barangay San Roque.
The road then enters Tanauan, and becomes a divided road with a plant-lined center island. Route 421, which leads to Tagaytay via Talisay, leaves Route 4 at the traffic light intersection at the city downtown. Route 4 changes back to an undivided road, passing on the residential barangays of Tanauan, and then enters the municipality of Malvar, where the road becomes a four-lane road through the poblacion. Pedro Montecer Street, which connects the parallel STAR Tollway, intersects Route 4 at the poblacion. The route leaves the municipal center, and passes through the rural barangays of Malvar, and then enters Lipa, near the LIMA Industrial Park, that lies on the municipal boundaries.
