The escalators I wish/need to use most often are frequently out of
order .. (aside ot New yorkers who know the places - Union Square metro
station -
4th ave and 14th street corner and the ones in the K-mart at astor
place, which also serves as an access to and from the downtown 6 train
nearest me.)
and while it is true that escalators are stirs when they are not moving,
Dan -- you may or may not remember several fairly recent occurances of
escalators that suddenly flattened or folded when they were in motion,
injuring those using them.. Wherever that sign is, I can hardly blame
the location for
being extra cautious.
Alan, it is more than an annoyance - they have become a hazard here..

With no escalators In Phalaborwa we easily maintain an even temperament!

Another iPhoto image of a sign.
I found this sign amusing as well, for two .reasons. First, the
escalator
is located in the Museum of Technology in San Jose, CA. How
embarrassing
for an institution like that has no one who can fix an escalator.
Second,
don't they realize that an escalator that is not working IS a set of
stairs? <G>

It always annoys me that half of the escalators in public facilities
in the
US seem to be out of order at any time. When we visited China and
Japan,
and also in our trip to Russia, ALL the escalators were operating
properly. Are our escalators that inferior, or are we just too
stupid to
service them properly?
End of Rant.
