@tsarstepan,
I usually walk...common manners say you stand to the right walk on the left. I leaned quickly to simply say politely excuse me if someone stands to the left blocking my path. Most people realize their error and move aside.
Common areas with escalators...subways, malls, hotels and airports.
Also same question on moving sidewalks found often times in airports do you walk or ride?
And in airports do you drag your luggage onto escalators like you aren't supposed to....I do because typically they are quicker than waiting for the elevator. But I have my suitcase right in front of me and move to the right so those that want to walk can get by me (can't walk with the suitcase)
