In [[Generation IV]], the layout of the route is completely changed. Route 17 is finally depicted as a metal bridge, matching the [[Midori Harada]] artwork more closely. Hills are added in the north, due to this time the bridge actually is going down, creating a camera effect similar to that when the player steps in stairs. The water ponds in the center of the route are removed. The bridge has a unique design this time, with textures not found in other places. From both the south and north, the route starts as a single path but later divides into two segments. While the west path is wide, with lampposts designed similarly to that of Generation III, the east path is narrower with lights above the road. Like Generation II, the signposts are removed.

Also, heading north on the route no longer causes a decrease in speed.

*One of the signs along the route says "''Don't throw the game, throw [[Poké Ball]]s instead''",  probably referring to the fact the player may get frustrated with the fact that they're losing a battle, and also it is common for someone to throw a game controller, or a hand-held console, if they get frustrated at a game.

*A [[glitch]] exists in [[Generation I]] that allows the player to get on to Cycling Road without a [[Bicycle]]. If the player exploits this glitch without ever obtaining the item and gets on Cycling Road, the player will still be riding a bike. This is because the game assumes that the player has a Bicycle if they can get past the guard in the checkpoint.
