Paved Empire Trail separated from traffic by a dedicated, two-way path that mostly rides along the median of Erie Blvd. The trail does cross a few very busy intersections and trail traffic has its own crossing lights. Use those to safely cross these intersections. As the trail gets closer to the City of Syracuse, there are street-crossing sections that have STOP signs for trail traffic. Use caution when crossing here as auto traffic turning onto these cross streets may not see a moving cyclist.
