Broadway connects Falls Road to the middle of Donegall Road (nowadays a roundabout on the Westlink). It is mentioned as the scene of a young man's undoing in the Belfast version of the traditional song "The Black Velvet Band":
I took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid comes a tripping along the highway
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was just like a swan's
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
