Naylor Road Metro Station Area Access and Capacity - WMATA.com.

The Oxon Run Drive entrance also exhibits worn pathways that demonstrate pedestrian desire
lines. The Oxon Run Drive station entrance roundabout serves the Park & Ride lot and lacks a
continuous sidewalk to safely guide pedestrians to the station entrance. However, pedestrians
continue to enter and exit the station area through this access point because it is convenient.
Pedestrians utilize an opening in the Park & Ride fence near the payment booth, which was
originally created for quicker access to the booth by Metro employees (Figure 15). Pedestrians
walk through the Park & Ride lot when using this impromptu access point.
Pedestrians arriving from Naylor Road north of Suitland Parkway have accessed the station in
the past by creating a hole in the fence at the northwest corner of the Park & Ride lot to reduce
walking times to the station entrance. This opening, however, is currently mended with a more
durable fence (Figure 16). Pedestrians have also created a dirt pathway along the east side of
Naylor Road where a sidewalk presently does not exist (Figure 12).
