Wolverhampton City Council's locally classified U120 forms a partly orbital route of the city centre across some of the eastern suburbs of the city, and as such is heavily used.
The route starts in Oxley at Three Tuns Junction with the A449 before heading uphill and through the suburbs of Low Hill via Elston Hall Lane, Kempthorne Avenue and Third Avenue. From there it heads into Fallings Park via Raynor Road and Bushbury Road into Heath Town, passing the parish church and Heath Town Park as it does so. It then runs around the Church Street/Tudor Road gyratory system, before crossing the A4124 and heading down Deans Road to meet A454 at a light-controlled junction.
From there it continues southwards along Stow Heath Lane passing East Park before meeting A41 near to the site of Priestfield tram stop at another light-controlled junction, where it continues as Ward Street, crossing a narrow canal bridge, before terminating at a T-junction on the A4039 in Ettingshall.
