It intersects both the westbound and eastbound portions of County Route S6, which in this area is split into one-way roads (which are in turn separated by another street). This intersection provides access to the end of the Sprinter hybrid rail service. Shortly thereafter, I-15 Bus. intersects County Route S14, and then interchanges with California State Route 78 (SR 78).
