4th Street is a minor street in
Lower Manhattan,
New York City. It starts at
Avenue D as
East 4th Street and continues to
Broadway, where it becomes
West 4th Street. It continues west until
Sixth Avenue, where West 4th Street turns north and confusingly intersects with West
10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Streets in
Greenwich Village. Most of the street has the same width between curbstones as others in the prevailing street grid, striped as two curbside lanes and one traffic lane, with one-way traffic eastbound. The portion from Seventh to Eighth Avenues is westbound (northbound geographically) and is approximately wide, a legacy of the original Greenwich Village street grid. The approximately three block section of West 4th on the southern border of
Washington Square Park is also called Washington Square South.
