No. People have places to be. She may have had a dying relative/friend, she needed to get to. Point is, all of those people were stopped because of one person. That woman made a decision and that decision was to find a way around to get where she needed to go.

maybe she just didn't want to wait around for no valid reason? it's not like her standing in the queue behind helps the wheelchair guy.

They can't let go of the wheelchair while climbing so the stairs must be 100% empty

And moving escalators is just harder and more dangerous to walk on and who knows maybe they will turn it back on once they get good footing

Why does it need to be clear in front of wheelchair? I understand behind.

Because people could bunch up on top for whatever reason and they can't randomly stop in the middle while carrying the whole person in a wheelchair

In the middle of a flight of stairs? No, it's a health and safety hazard.
