i was confused by the signs you sometimes see on escalators that are apparently warning you of their own existence for a good few years as a child
I’m not going to be the one to tell people how to do it, but perhaps the solution would have been to add text to the sign? Or just a text sign explaining the issue?
(Really good) image/infographics signs avoid the need for translation to a million different languages. Not sure what would’ve fit best in the case of the escalator.
See? Much better.
This confuses me still
Hitting the brick wall right behind that sign would cause a much more serious injury than hitting the sign would. It’s the same idea as those signs by bridges that say “if you hit this sign you will hit that bridge!”
Better a minor bump on the head than a concussion. Not that an escalator moves fast enough to cause a concussion but you get the idea.
