  Escalator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A moving walkway, moving sidewalk, travelator, or travellator is a slow conveyor belt that transports people horizontally or on an incline in a similar manner to an escalator.
Moving walkways are often used in airports where there is a long distance to walk between terminals, and in metro stations.
An inclined moving sidewalk, also called a movator, travelator or moving ramp, is used in airports and supermarkets to move people to another floor with the convenience of an elevator (people can take along their suitcase trolley or shopping cart) and the capacity of an escalator.

 Ideas sought on moving parkway ramp
Under the county's proposal, the Oak Street exit would be closed and landscaped while the existing Oak Street northbound on-ramp to the parkway would remain unaffected.
County literature on the proposal explains that the ramp relocation is meant to improve safety and traffic flow on the Bronx River Parkway by creating an off-ramp that holds more cars.
By holding more cars on the ramp, there is a reduced possibility that cars will back up into the highway where there could be high-speed crashes.
