The B4144 is an urban B-road in north Birmingham.
Originally it started on the A47 Saltley Road and headed northwest along Nechells Place. However, this section is now unclassified and so the B4144 starts on the B4132 Thimble Mill Lane.
The road heads west along Walter Street, soon crossing a canal. It meets the A5127 at a roundabout before going over the A38(M), which is in a cutting at this point. It then continues to the western end of Park Lane where it meets the A34 (Newtown) High Street at traffic lights.
The road ahead is the B4515 and so it would appear that the B4144 ends here. However, there is a short multiplex north along the A34 before the B4144 takes the next turn off at a GSJ and reappears at the roundabout. This point is also the starting point of the B4140, which goes in the opposite direction.
Heading west once again, the B4144 follows Lozells Road into Lozells. After becoming Villa Road it ends on the A41 at a set of traffic lights.
