It has a token booth, turnstile bank, and two staircases to each platform with the southbound side requiring a short walk. Platform extensions are clearly present at the north end of the station. It was built after the station's opening to accommodate growing passenger flow as evidenced by its newer-style tiling and signage. The part-time Quentin Road station house, located to the east of the embankment, has a turnstile bank, part-time booth, and two staircases to each platform. The one on the north is HEET access only, containing three turnstiles, a staircase to each platform and its MetroCard Vending Machines were installed on the sidewalk. The entrance on the south side is normally the full-time entrance/exit, containing a turnstile bank, token booth, two staircases to each platform, and one exit-only turnstile from the Coney Island-bound platform. During the signal replacement, a new signal electrical tower was installed over the express tracks at the south end of the station. Before Brighton signal replacement during the 1990s, a switch tower was in operation about 150 feet (46 m) south of the station, facing the southbound local track this tower has been abandoned, and control of the switches has passed to a master tower at DeKalb Avenue. South of Kings Highway are a series of switches that allow trains to switch from the local tracks to the express ones, and vice versa. The two mezzanines at Kings Highway, located directly underneath the subway embankment, were constructed in the original BMT format, but fully renovated in the 1980s, during which two identical sets of porcelain enamel artwork ( Kings Highway Hieroglyphs by Rhoda Andors) were installed, one set in each mezzanine. It has three fare control areas at street level-two to Kings Highway/East 16th Street and one to Quentin Road/East 16th Street. The two platforms are offset from each other, with the northbound platform located roughly 75 feet (23 m) further north than the southbound platform. This station has four tracks and two island platforms. ← toward Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue ( Avenue U) →Įntrances/exits, station house and agent, MetroCard machines ← weekdays toward Brighton Beach ( Sheepshead Bay) → ← weekdays toward Bedford Park Boulevard or 145th Street ( Newkirk Plaza) ![]() The southbound platform in February 2014, after the reconstruction project 2F ![]()
