    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.

        I agree in a general use sense, but I think this is an instance where the information needed to be explained is a little too complex for a simple icon sign. It may not have alerted non-native speakers, but it probably would have helped more people than this.
