New Pedestrian Safety Policy on Capodichino NSA Naples Safety has noted an increased hazard to pedestrians using the crosswalk after being dropped off at the bus stop near Capodichino's main gate. Public Works is exploring options to enhance pedestrian safety in this area. In the interim, vehicles are prohibited from passing the shuttle bus while it is stopped to pick up or drop off passengers. Pedestrians should exercise caution when crossing the street at this location. There is no policy change regarding stopped buses at any other bus stop locations. For additional information, contact David Peters at the NSA Safety Office at DSN 6263147 or 081-568-3147.
