i had faced this before several times..get on an escalator in a shopping mall..while watching things around wouldn't realize that am on last step of escalator, so I end up jumping in a hurry to safe land on floor ahead.
so while there are 2-3 steps left before you exit the escalator, at that exact
location, a ring of laser light will be placed at certain height..so irrespective of which direction you are looking while on escalator, the moment you see the light (you have to pass through that, so no way to escape), you need to look forward and be prepared to exit nice and smooth
laser light is just an option, would like to hear better options keeping in mind the objective.

Party tooters instead of laser lights. |

Big springs under the escalator steps that fling any lingering passengers aside. |

Uh, a great many escalators and travelators have
alerts such as flashing lights and announcements to
remind you you're approaching the end. |

+ but a haha at the end would be more entertaining. |

sounds very 1980's, if you could toss in some dry-ice fog and synthesiser music, it might be a winner. |

Some clothes pegs and cardboard like kids use on
their bicycles to make an engine sound...but on the
steps at the end. |

A tactile ripple or hiccup along your step as it nears level ground would be good. Blind people, (the one's who'd appreciate the heads-up the most), wouldn't detect the lasers unless they were heat lasers... which would be bad. |
