Holding the right hand on the handrelly helps too, as one can make out
when the steps are moving up or down.

just to add and emphasis about escalators being steps only.
some time i run on them, in the evening in order not to miss, the
underground, on my own.
of course walking escalators are there, like slope going up or down, but
very few, and mostly in the big airports.

Hi Prateek
main thing to remember is, that escalators are only moving steps.
one can use cane like on the steps, yes it is much easyer to follow
railings, left or right, you can use the railings to start and end your
gerny on escalators.
like steps one can go up or down, also when they are in motion.
you would feel with your cane, i suppose, you are useing cane?
i use here every day to work, or travel back home. and i am totaly blind.
hope this helps.

hi folks,
hope you all are doing great.
With all the traveling I've been doing from past whatever months to
different parts of world, one of the problems I'm facing is to cope
with escalators.
Escalators are becoming common in Indian structures too, but I found a
lot of escalators at various places especially in countries like US,
UK etc.
No matter whatever I've tried, I haven't been able to independently
use the escalators, and in fact, found myself in a strange nuisance
all the times I have to use them.
for Those who don't know, I'm a totally blind.
Though I manage to take someone's help to climb through escalators,
but even in that case find a lot uneasiness, particularly due to the
strange manner most of the people use to help me.
Sometimes, 2 people holding my hands from both the sides, shouting
like hell when I have to further my leg, and all that irritates me to
the crest.
I feel like a victim and find a serious discomfiture.
Since many of you have been traveling across the world and using
escalators from quite sometime now, I request you to kindly share your
experiences on how do you cope with them.
Since I do not have any sight available, it'll be helpful if you can
help me by describing from that perspective.
So, can you please guide me on the following?
1. how to determine when to further the legs when you are totally
blind and can not catch the visual signals?
2. is there a technique to do it independently?
3. I feel a little apprehensive about risk of legs to get wedged
into
the stairways. Is there a way out?
Your valuable guidance will be of great use, not just for me, but for
lot of others like me.
Hoping to have some positive responses.
