@Alexandoy More or less the same here. Yellow foot markings in train stations, supermarkets, public administrative offices.

that step marking on an escalator is indeed a good initiative to maintain social distancing. Hope people follow it religiously.

Here you can be arrested with a violation of the distancing. One big supermarket was closed for 1 week due to such violation.

What if the escalator is not functional?

If the escalator is not moving then you probably have to jump on the markings only. If you step on the surface with no markings then you can be arrested, waheehee, joke.

@Alexandoy And one cannot fall on each other if they miss a step.

The admin of the building has done it good but inside the elevator there are no guide marks.

That was smart of them to paint the feet on the escalator to give people a visual cue of where to stand. Hopefully, people follow the guide and stand at the appropriate distances.

@moffittjc you might be surprised to know that those visual cue were not 100% effective.

@Alexandoy It's kind of sad that people are so dumb or clueless that they can't figure out how to appropriately distance themselves from others without some kind of visual cue on the ground to remind them.

I am sure that the social distance rules are meant to keep the citizens safe from this pandemic.

That is the rationale - to keep distance from each other.

There are also arrows on the aisles where you have to walk on the right side so you will not encounter the people walking to your direction.
