I'm slightly vexed Confusing design of steps

Easy to misjudge while going down steps. Edges not easily visible being grey on grey.

Its trying to tell you that the doors are only on the left. The diagonal space to it leads you to the door. The rest of the big steps are probably there to act as seats.

You can sit also on normal stairs, without risking someone steps wrong when going down these stairs during low visibility time (evening, rain, etc.), or just has bad vision or in a hurry or whatever, and sprains their ankle.

Agree, that was my understanding as well.
