Highway system

Jose P. Laurel Highway is a 49-kilometer (30 mi), two-to-six lane, major highway running within the province of Batangas.[1][2][3] The highway forms part of National Route 4 (N4) of the Philippine highway network.[4] It is also known as Manila–Batangas Diversion Road in Santo Tomas, Manila–Batangas Road from its junction with General Malvar Street in Santo Tomas southwards, and Ayala Highway in Lipa.

The highway was named in the honor of Jose P. Laurel, a Batangas native who served as the president of the Second Philippine Republic.

Route description

Jose P. Laurel Highway starts at the Santo Tomas Junction, a roundabout intersection with the Maharlika Highway and Governor Carpio Avenue in Santo Tomas. The Southern Tagalog Arterial Road mostly parallels the highway, and crosses each other at Lipa and Batangas City. It then enters Tanauan, Malvar, Lipa, where it diverts motorists around the poblacion as Ayala Highway, San Jose, and Batangas City, where it ends at the intersection with Palico–Balayan–Batangas Road and P. Burgos Street (Manila-Batangas Pier Road) in the poblacion.

History

The highway formed part of Highway 19 that linked Santo Tomas and the then-municipality of Batangas.[5][6][7] New downtown-bypassing alignments in Lipa (now known as Ayala Highway) and in Santo Tomas (officially known as Manila–Batangas Diversion Road),[4] respectively, were later built and made part of the present-day highway.[8]

Intersections

The entire route will be located in Batangas. Intersections are numbered by kilometer posts, with Rizal Park in Manila designated as kilometer zero.
