Route 4 is a freeway for most of its length, but there are three traffic signals on the road towards its southern terminus.

Because Route 4 is the primary route used to get between Providence and Rhode Island's beaches, Route 4 is known by many locals simply as "The Road to the Beach".[citation needed]
