These brightly coloured decorations brighten the cavernous station's walls with the autumn colour theme used elsewhere. In the groups of five discs, the 45° displacement of the slot from disk to disk gives an impression of movement, as though the disks are rolling counterclockwise to the station's exit (or clockwise into the station). Adding to this motif, the disc closest to the exit in each group is yellow, symbolizing the sunlight outdoors.
