How about someone who refuses to move to the back of an elevator?
It's called common courtesy.
And let's face it, the primary reason you take a car is so that you don't have to allow for as much travel time as the bike and pedestrian option.
Of course if my car is in the shop I would take a cab or give myself plenty of time to walk or ride my bike while allowing time to move out of the way of people traveling faster.
Motorized traffic is impeded and inconvenienced by non-motorized traffic.That is why farm tractors,bikes,horse-drawn buggies,and pedestrian traffic is forbidden the use of interstate highways.Also mopeds are forbidden the use of many roads because they can't keep up and are nothing but a hazard.
It is asinine to pretend that it makes sense to mix slow-moving and fast moving vehicles.
Where there are no bike paths the bike forces thousands of cars to slow down just for the convenience of one person.I have found myself one of the early morning commuters on a major artery dodging and slowing for a cyclist;I have had my journey delayed on weekends because the winding two lane I must use for part of my drive to anywhere had cyclists three abreast forcing me to their 15 mph rather than the posted 35.One of these days some of my neighbors who routinely do 50 are going to come around a curve a wipe out a whole bunch of them.
If you can't travel at the posted speed limit and follow the rules of movemen you ought to at least avoid peak travel times.
Common courtesy also is a part of sharing the road and there are those times when some people are unable to physically move out of your way because of potholes and debris.
Back to your questions. A person on an escalator might have packages where they can’t get out of your way. Did you not notice you’re still moving along with the escalator and you’re still getting to your destination?
On an crowded elevator, all people have to share space with the next person. You might even consider getting onto another that’s not so crowded.
What’s the speed limit on an escalator?
