Elevators have gotten really fast now, it probably made sense for 70+ story buildings where you might be on the elevator for more than 60 seconds back in the day but many modern elevators are going 10 floors/sec at their max speed.

10 floors per second? Assuming 1 floor = 1 story = 3.3 meters, that's highway speeds.

Really fast indeed.

They're not quite highway speed, but still pretty crazy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/the-surpri...

Peak speed: 18 m/s (40 mph)
