While riding the subway
It's not hard for us to find out
People when they ride the escalator
They all consciously follow the rule of "left and right".
Set aside the left for those who are in a hurry
This way people who are in a hurry can go first from the left
Like this
Once upon a time, "walking on the left and standing on the right" was regarded as a civilized and courteous behavior, and almost became a "norm" in public places
But
This kind of civilized and compassionate behavior actually needs to be corrected
This is not the last day
Some netizens suggested that Chengdu Metro use a loudspeaker to remind and guide passengers
"Walk left and stand right" when riding the escalator
Related topics have also attracted everyone's attention again
For netizens' suggestions, Chengdu Metro recently replied that the height of each step of the escalator is much higher than that of ordinary walking stairs, and there is a risk of "falling and falling" when walking on the escalator, especially during peak periods, when the flow of people is large, once someone in front falls and the passengers behind cannot avoid it, it may cause a large-scale stampede.
In addition, in the long run, "left and right" will have a certain impact on the escalator, so "left and right" is not advocated. In order to ensure the safety of passengers, passengers are encouraged to remain stationary when riding the escalator.
Highlight ↓ This move is for safety reasons
Other words
The behavior of "walking left and standing right" is not safe!
There are two reasons for this:
- 1/ It is easy to make the escalator "break the life"
- 2/ There are potential safety hazards
Some people in the industry pointed out that in terms of the design principle of the escalator, it is completely different from the traditional staircase
Not suitable for walking
Elevator expert senior engineer Wu Bin: Because the slope of the escalator is a little higher than the height of the stairs of our daily building mechanism structure, in fact, it is not suitable for walking, the escalator is not able to carry out activities, and the way of "left line and right stand" is also unreasonable, because it will produce a balance deviation, which will cause the "left" side of the elevator load to be relatively light, and the right side of the load will be a little heavier, which will produce an inclination.
In fact, in recent years, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hong Kong and other places have canceled the "left and right" initiative in 2019
Shanghai Metro has also issued the "latest version of the escalator instructions", the biggest change is to cancel the previous "left and right" advocacy, replaced by a new "prohibition of walking and running while taking the escalator"
Guangzhou Metro:
"Left-to-right" is neither safe nor efficient
According to media reports, Guangzhou Metro has previously issued a claim that taking escalators does not advocate "walking left and standing right"
In April last year, the Guangzhou Metro once again reminded that "going left and standing right" is neither safe nor efficient
- Studies have shown that when people "walk left and stand right", the escalator can transport 81 passengers per minute, and when people stand on both sides at the same time, the escalator can transport 113 passengers per minute.
- In the long run, it will also cause the escalator to tilt slightly.
- In addition, people walking on elevators are more likely to cause elevator accidents, and data shows that about three-quarters of escalator accidents are caused by people walking around.
But many people are still used to doing it
It can't be changed for a while
Many neighbors take the escalator
They all have the habit of "walking left and standing right".
"I already understood
In fact, it is not advisable to go down the escalator
It's not safe
The second one might not be good if it was on one side
It's just that I'm going to keep it in the habit."
Some neighbors said that they have always had this habit, "because I hope that when I am in a hurry, there will be a passage that is convenient for myself and others."
Some neighbors also said that they had learned that they did not advocate the practice of "walking on the left and standing on the right".
However, when you get up the escalator, the queue is already "fixed (standing) on the right and empty on the left", so you will unconsciously follow this standing method
Some neighbors also made safety reminders about this: "If you are really in a hurry, you may have to get up early and leave enough time for yourself to get connected."
Because after all, it's a public place
It's easy to run and walk a little faster
Not very safe"
Inside Xiaobei Station of Guangzhou Metro
The reporter noticed that the precautions next to the escalator read-
When taking the escalator, stand firmly
It seems that many neighbors are accustomed to "walking on the left and standing on the right"
In fact, it is also out of wanting to give up a little position
Let those in a hurry go first
But after all, taking the escalator requires you to keep your hair still
There is a certain risk associated with walking around at will
"What should we do when riding the escalator?"
Hold the armrests tightly
Pay attention to the safety of your feet
