Could I ask the architects whether their down-to-up convention applies to
escalators as well (cf. current discussion on 'steps') - given that they are
moving steps - or only to up-escalators (;>) ...

I'm trying to work out how to tag Escalators I'm not sure the current
tagging it clear, or even partially useful.

This ties in Greatly with the long running Path discussion......

There seams to be no clear way to tag "Moving Walkways" or Travelators these
are Esclators without steps, so the current tagging steps with an extra tag
just does not work, spouse you could tag a path, but that just makes it
worse.

one_way would seam to make as much sence as escalator_dir currently, and
maybe this could be unified.
