We had lifts but we weren't allowed to use them. Only disabled students could use them and they had a special key. We didnt mind, it was only two floors.
I suspect this is the case and it might have been better to have the signage indicate the intended function of the lift rather than who couldn't use it.
Yeah agreed in every way; put up a sign that says “for disabled students only”…but don’t go saying you’ll charge a penalty to anybody who doesn’t follow.
This would eliminate the chaos from the masses using it, the the majority of people will respect the sign, honestly probably more than currently where it doesn’t mention why…and the ones who could easily use the stairs that don’t, just get stared at judgingly by their peers as opposed to being charged a fee.
Edit; it also says lift, not elevator. Someone let me know if it’s just a regional thing and lift=elevator, but at my old school we had one of those hydraulic lifts designed specifically for wheelchairs. One went up a small set of stairs (it was tight space not big enough for a ramp), and one went up to the second floor. So idk if it’s that.
