The Plan states that Broadway Road serves the major industrial area of east Sanford, as well as the East Lee Middle School and numerous adjacent commercial establishments, and brings in traffic from the Town of Broadway. Major thoroughfares may be either partial or no control access and usually have little to no on-street parking. In 2007, NCDOT Traffic counts for Broadway Road indicate there were 8,600 trips per day near the subject site.
