[nagdu] Moving sidewalks

[Julie J.]

The moving sidewalks I've been on do have a rail.  It's actually the same 
exact sort of rail found on escalators.  I can hear where the moving 
sidewalk ends.  there is a sort of hissing or friction noise as the belt 
turns under the metal plate at the end.  Most of the ones at the airports 
also have chimes and an announcement at the end just in case you fell asleep 
or something.
I don't see how a moving sidewalk is any more dangerous than an escalator.

I was told moving sidewalks are dangerous because it's hard to tell when one
is coming to the end, so one doesn't know when to tell the dog to jump over
the place where the sidewalk goes into the ground.  On an escalator, I can
tell when we're coming to the end by keeping my hand on the rail, but maybe
moving sidewalks don't have a rail.
It made sense to me, so I've always avoided moving sidewalks.
