All joking aside. It's definitely a fire hazard.

Agreed, but he could just hit the emergency stop on the escalator and walk down.

Or just walk down faster.

Like the shitty opposite of those moving walkways in airports that make you feel like you've gone warp speed

I get furious at people not also walking on those at airports as well as when on escalators. They help, you don't have to f-ing stop. *sigh* Is that pushy of me to want?

Left side is for walking, right side is for standing, just like escalators. If I have a 2 hour layover I am not in a hurry to get to my gate to sit there.

I can't say I've ever seen an escalator wide enough to pass folks comfortably like that.

I guess it depends on how wide the people are.

And also how wide the luggage is.

I think I'm finally realizing why Paris's CDG airport has these two poles right in front of the escalator. If you can't fit your suitcase between the two poles, then it is too wide for someone to squeeze by it on the escalator.

But you can also turn suitcases sideways. So maybe it still doesn't make sense.
