Broadway is a major thoroughfare in central Los Angeles and Los Angeles County, southern California. The Broadway Theater District in Downtown Los Angeles is the first and largest historic theater and cinema district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Broadway begins at Main Street just north of the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405). From there it runs 10 miles (16 km) north from South Los Angeles to Downtown, connecting Carson, Rosewood, and Athens.
After entering Downtown, it passes through Broadway's historic commercial district and theatre district, then enters the Los Angeles Civic Center and passes through Grand Park.
After crossing the Hollywood Freeway (US 101) and Cesar Chavez Avenue, signs along the street change to read "North Broadway" as it enters Chinatown and then passes through the Dragon Gate and Central Plaza. It then curves northeast, passing through the old railyards north of Downtown Los Angeles. After crossing the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5) it heads due east to its terminus at Mission Road in Lincoln Heights.
