The traffic is fast, but the bike lanes on Sunrise are way wide, which I love.
A much better option is to cross Sunrise to the west bound lane of Sunrise from Oak, then a right onto Park Lane and immediate left on Front Street. Then a block west to a diagonal right on Clark.

Take Clark west for 3.25 miles to the Seaford ObY Exxpressway, go under (straight) and then first left on Park and west a mile to the left at Beech. Take Beech south past Sunrise to Merrick and Cedar Creek

In any case, Sunrise Hwy is NOT suitable for bikes, especially in the area of Rt135 and I would avoid at all costs. Ditto Merrick Rd.
