DPW to Convert Traffic Signals at Two Intersections to Flashing Lights

The City of Syracuse Department of Public Works (DPW) will adjust the traffic signals at two intersections: S. Geddes & W. Onondaga Street and Grant Boulevard & Lemoyne Avenue beginning Saturday, Nov. 1 through April 1.

On S. Geddes & W. Onondaga Street
On S. Geddes Street, drivers traveling northbound and southbound will observe a flashing yellow light. This indicates that drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.

On W. Onondaga Street, vehicles traveling eastbound and westbound will observe a flashing red light. Drivers must come to a complete stop at the intersection, similar to a stop sign, and proceed after yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrians or other vehicles.

Grant Boulevard & Lemoyne Avenue
On Grant Boulevard, drivers will observe a change from a standard three-color light to a flashing yellow light. This indicates that drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.

On Lemoyne Ave, drivers will observe a change to a flashing red light. Drivers must come to a complete stop at the intersection, similar to a stop sign, and proceed after yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrians or other vehicles.

This scheduled changeover occurs twice a year. It improves safety for vehicles traveling on certain streets during wintry conditions.
