A moving walkway (British English) or moving sidewalk (American English) (colloquially sometimes horizontalator, travelator, horizontal escalator, walkalator, autowalk, movator, slidewalk) is a slow moving conveyor mechanism that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance. Moving walkways can be used by standing or walking on them. They are often installed in pairs, one for each direction.

Famous quotes containing the word moving:
“The great snake lies ever half awake, at the bottom of the pit of the world, curled
In folds of himself until he awakens in hunger and moving his head to right and to left prepares for his hour to devour.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
