Not a bad idea, and just in time for Elevator Escalator Safety Awareness Week! |
|
| |
You should just stand back a little as the doors open. So should I. I wonder why we don't? |
|
| |
You don't because the lift is full, and I don't because I'm stressed and rude, [wagster]. ;-) |
|

This has been solved on the London Underground and i'm sure in other places. |
|

The lifts have doors on two opposite sides, one end for entry, the other for exit. The exit door opens a few seconds before the entry door opens, thus the lift is empty or almost so by the time you are able to start walking into it. |

[jutta], perhaps the '3' is pronounced in a nasal Essex accent as in: |
|
| |
"Ere, how many johnnies you got?"
"Free."
"Ar wicked! 'Ah much were they?"
"Free, from the clinic init." |

//Have the doors swing outwards// That may be a
good idea, but it would be harder to implement.
Also, wouldn't the auto-swinging doors be more
prone to mechanical failure? what if the elevator
broke down, and it wasnt EXACTLY lined up with
the floor

How on earth are you supposed to rescue
someone from that? of course they could get out
through the escape hatch, but what if they cant
climb down the shaft? |
|
| |
just put an extra LED in the Call button. |
|
| |
But even if there's no traffic the doors stay open long enough for you to actually check visually if somebody's getting off without worrying about wasting time. |
|
| |
Dead simple and obvious, but I wonder why the elevator doors aren't glazed. That's the normal solution for most other doors. |
|
| |
You should always be prepared to let people exit prior to entering. |
