Exit the vehicle only on the right-hand passenger side. To exit out the left side is very, very dangerous as thru traffic passes (sometimes quickly) on the left drive-thru lane. 2. DO NOT PARK OR LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE in the Kiss ‘N Ride lanes, even if only for a few seconds. 3. If at the end of the day your child does not exit the building, please do not leave your car in the Kiss ‘N Ride lane to investigate. Park the car and we will be happy to assist you in the office.
