Interstate 4, also known as I-4 and the Olympic Freeway, is a freeway in Los Santos and the southeast of Blaine County in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Route description[]
Interstate 4 runs between Interstate 5 to the west and the Palomino Highlands to the east. It is co-signed with Route 15 east of Route 17 until the I-4 designation ends at Sustancia Road.
I-4 begins at a semi-directional T interchange with the upper deck of Interstate 5. The Olympic Freeway, as it's called in Los Santos, borders the Downtown and South Los Santos areas. It is completely elevated with four lanes on each side and the Los Santos Transit Arrow line and Strawberry Station running along the freeway's median.
Once it leaves the downtown area, It crosses Route 17 at a "scissor-loop" interchange before flying over the Four Level Interchange-inspired intersection of Route 20 and Interstate 2 one thousand feet later. At this interchange, the route loses two lanes in each direction, and becomes co-signed with Route 15. From this point, it becomes the Palomino Freeway, a rural highway that bisects the Tataviam Mountains and Palomino Highlands. Interstate 4 ends at a two-stack semi-directional T interchange with Sustancia Road.
Although the Interstate system connects all of Los Santos, it is not possible to drive directly on Interstate 4 to Los Santos International Airport. To get there, the player must intersect with Interstate 5 in Little Seoul, then drive approximately 1400 ft and exit to Route 22 and immediately exit to Route 19.
The speed limit on Interstate 4 is 60 mp/h or 100 km/h.
Influence[]
The freeway takes its name from Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Interstate 4/Olympic Freeway is based on Interstate 105 in California, as it features a Los Santos Metro line running down the middle of the freeway, much like the real 105 features the C Line (formerly Green Line until 2020) of the LACMTA running in the median of the freeway. Interstate 4 is also influenced by Interstate 105 as it features a large intersection with Interstate 5 (Interstate 110 in real life), and it runs through central Los Santos on the edge of Downtown and the cities of Strawberry and Davis.
Interstate 4's real life inspiration ends directly at Los Angeles International Airport, although Interstate 4 in game does not terminate at LSIA at all. Interstate 5 serves as the connector for Interstate 4 and the airport through Dutch London Street (Route 22) and its adjacent intersection with Davis Avenue.
