confusion about how to enter the Kiss & Ride. A large, bold sign with an arrow that states “KISS
& RIDE KEEP LEFT” could reduce the frequency of motorists accidentally entering the bus bay
facility. In addition, this study recommends signage and pavement markings near the north Kiss
& Ride crosswalk to encourage motorists to wait for passengers near the Kiss & Ride shelters.
Moving the vehicle queue farther downstream would reduce the likelihood of conflicts with the
bus loop. Cross-hatch pavement markings and “DO NOT BLOCK THE INTERSECTION” signs
should be added to alert motorists of the bus loop/Kiss & Ride conflict areas, as shown in Figure
50.
Kiss & Rides are required to include dedicated shuttle space based on Metro’s Station Site and
Access Planning Manual. Though not needed now, Kiss & Ride space for use by small shuttles
should be formalized in the future when needed. Large shuttles should apply for a permit to use
a bus bay. As with bus operations, delay at Naylor Road roundabouts and the combined Kiss &
Ride and bus bay access points are problematic and improvements should be considered during
development of the final TOD site plan of the station area.
