In London they have signs to remind people of the unspoken rule.

David Markland over at Metroblogging Los Angeles posts a rant about those people (you know who you are) who stand on the left side of the escalator and block the way for those who are in a rush. Angelenos seem to forget this basic rule of urban escalator ettiquette. Or were the just never aware of it thanks to the low-rise nature of our city? Either way, this stands as a reminder for all you MetroRiders: Stand on the right, walk on the left!

  1. Actually, walking on the escalator can be dangerous, and it shouldn’t be done at all. Those people blocking you are just trying to keep you safe!

    Seriously, I don’t think walking on the escalator is illegal, but maybe it should be. Just stand there and wait the extra 15 seconds until the ride’s over.
