> Stand on the right of escalators

This surprised me when visiting the UK.

I actually expected people to stand on the "left" of the scalators - just like how they drive on the left and overtake on the right - but they didn't. They stood on the right.

I was left puzzled ???

Walk on the left, which is enabled by people standing on the right. Quite simple IMO, but maybe that's just because it's ever been thus!

That's the opposite of all other traffic rules in the UK.

Cars stop on the left, which allow other cars to overtake them on the right.
