The B4059 is a largely rural B-road in south Gloucestershire.
The road starts in the hamlet of Earthcott Green, where the B4427 TOTSOs, and heads vaguely southeasterly although there is a detour to the north in Latteridge.
After crossing the Ladden Brook and the freight-only Thornbury Branch Line at a level crossing it bends southwards to reach traffic lights on the B4058 Iron Acton bypass.
The B4059 multiplexes along the B4058 for a short distance east before that road TOTSOs and the B4059 continues ahead. This marks the original western end of the B4059; the road was extended further west to Earthcott Green in the 1940s. Over half a mile later a roundabout is reaches on the edge of Yate.
The original route of the B4059 is to the right, which road quickly reaches the A432 at traffic lights near the station. However, this is now a spur of the B4059 and the mainline turned left at the roundabout. It heads round the northern side of Yate, along Goose Green Way, meeting two branches of the B4060 en route. Finally this road also ends on the A432 southern relief road at a roundabout.
