If this was before entering the Metro, one could perhaps take the elevator instead as that has a separate entrance, unless they are standing there.
There have been reports of people refusing and being escorted out of the station. In places like NYC and Boston with extensive aubway systems, it’s simple to just walk around the corner to another entrance or down the street to the next station. That’s not possible at Rosslyn. Now that I think about it, you could take the elevator because it’s located on Moore Street and has its own handicapped-accessible turnstyle. Other than that, it’s a mile walk to the next station. .
