    History

    Highway 4 was originally designated as Provincial Highway 1, while the present-day Highway 1 was designated as Provincial Highway 4.[2] The designations were switched around c. 1940 to allow for the future Trans-Canada Highway to have the same number across western Canada.[3]

    Highway 4S

    Several maps, such as MapArt's mapbook of Saskatchewan Cities and Towns shows a Highway 4S spur heading east from the intersection of Highway 4 in Swift Current to the city's airport, following Airport Road.[4] The roadway is not designated Highway 4S on the Saskatchewan Highway's Official Highway Map.[5][6]
