It has one lane in each direction spanning the entire length.

It was reported that around 2020 widening of the road to 2x2 lanes will commence. As result it would receive an expressway or motorway status, and the current 90 km/h speed limit would be raised.[2] The Annual average daily traffic of the A4 in 2016 was 11,954 cars per day.

History
