Plural of 'broadway,' referring to multiple broad ways or roads, or multiple references to the famous Broadway theater district.
Simply the plural form of 'broadway,' which comes from Old English 'broad' (wide) and 'way' (path or road). The word literally meant 'wide road,' though it's now primarily associated with New York City's theater district.
The funny thing is that 'broadway' originally just meant any wide street or thoroughfare—it wasn't a proper noun! The term became so associated with NYC's theater district that we almost forgot it used to simply describe the physical characteristic of a road.
