I believe so... I did a couple of laps of the ring-road recently (both clockwise and anti-clockwise) and it all is signed as A444

There is some ambiguity, southbound just before the ring road, where the one-way bit along Old Hinkley Road and Leicester Road appears to be still the A47

Thanks, Micro (and Owain). Long time since I did any substantial part of the Nuneaton ring (in either direction) -- but yes, I too noticed, last time I looked, that on the Old Hinckley Road / Leicester Road / Weddington Road gyratory the first two of those three roads are signed A47. Makes navigational sense, I suppose, for eastbound traffic wanting to find its way out of Nuneaton.
