This pedestrian subway leads under the A444 Jimmy Hill Way, connecting a car park to the Arena stadium and the adjoining railway station and shopping mall. The sign probably once said 'Ricoh Arena', but 'Ricoh' has been overpainted, as the company no longer sponsors the stadium, which is now the Coventry Building Society Arena. The rainbow lights and stripes are a recent addition in 2022, perhaps in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, as some of the events will be taking place in the stadium.
