The B4544 forms a link across Coventry city centre, following Warwick Road, New Union Street, Little Park Street, Jordan Well, and Cox Street.
In 2012/2014 Coventry city centre saw changes to its road layout. This led to the removal of traffic lights in favour of unsignalised shared spaces and the installation of multiple sets of zebra crossings. The road's southern end at A4053 J6 was changed from a large roundabout with a garden in the middle to a diamond interchange to integrate pedestrians into the city centre, whilst the pedestrian area to the north was essentially widened by putting traffic in both directions onto the same carriageway, whereas the road had previously been dualled.
