Broadway is a local stop on the BMT Astoria Line with two side platforms for the three-tracked line, the Manhattan-bound platform is fully winscreened, while the Astoria-bound platform is only in its midsection where both platforms have canopies, leaving the extremities to just have a low-lying fence offering its nice views. In the middle of the platform there are two staircases from each platform that lead down to a station house and fare control area beneath the tracks. Here each platform has its own small bank of turnstiles with the token in between and a free crossunder by walking through a narrow passageway to one side of the station house. To get to street level two passageways leave this area to staircases on each side of 31 Street, giving the station street stairs at all four corners of that intersection with Broadway.
