Two things: The stairs are clearly designed as a means to get traffic down to the platform as fluidly as possible. The escalator, on the other hand, can only go one direction, in this case up; so telling people to walk up the down stairs has the potential to really mess up the designed flow of traffic. But I guess that’s a small price to pay for making someone feel bad about their body. Not for nothing, but I’m assuming that the same people who would put the thought and effort into something like this would also grumble and complain that a larger person using the stairs was slowing them down. All said, I’d much rather have “Walk On The Left, Stand On The Right” signs.
