So the thing that nobody has mentioned in all this...
WHO decided it was a good idea to rename "carpool lane" ..... the "kiss & go" lane.
I'm not sure if that's just a CHCCS thing or what but that threw me for a loop when I used to have to coordinate after-school transportation. That's a little bit of a cringy moniker.
Must just be a CH thing. I never heard it growing up attending WCPSS....but working with CHCCS for 8 years that's what they called it. If a kid in my program was missing from their bus...administrators would call me back and say "oh so and so got picked up in the Kiss & Go lane by their mom/dad/nanny"

Not a Chapel Hill thing. Our carpool lanes in Fairfax County, Virginia were called “Kiss and Ride”
I seem to recall that term started popping up at airports as a generic passenger “drop off” not associated with a livery service. Feel free to smooch your Uber driver at RDU, but XXOOs in the bus lane are still Verboten...

Is Safety Patrol still a thing, or was that just regional too? .
The 5th graders at my daughter's school do Safety Patrol. They open and close the doors for the children getting in and out at carpool and say a cheery 'Have a nice day!' My daughter aspires to be one someday... :-)
