This would avoid someone travelling at top speed colliding with a stationary object/barrier if they misstepped/fell (instead, they would gradually tumble to a halt ...) ok enough commenting on this crazy idea .... =) Also – Mac you’d want a “mirror” design i.e. the fastest track surrounded on both sides by slower tracks, which each had slower tracks on the other side of them.

Which is why I really like it =) Also – robert this idea is an improvement on typical moving walkways with the different speed tracks

Also featured were very-accurate-human-catapults endless coathanger tracks which you could grab/hook on to and unstopping padded velcro trains (velcro suit required) With friends had exactly the same idea!

Some of the sidewalks in my city are so congested, maybe something like this will push away the squatters and hawkers.
