Fastest moving walkway

A high-speed moving walkway (or travelator) at Montparnasse metro station in Paris, France, moves commuters at 9 km/h (5.6 mph), the speed of a slow run and around three times as fast as regular moving sidewalks. The 180-m (590-ft) long Trottoir Roulant Rapide ("fast rolling pavement") was built by the French company CNIM and installed in 2003. Due to the high speed of the central section, acceleration and deceleration sections at either end of the walkway help adjust users' speed before entering or leaving the walkway. The walkway originally sped along at 12.1 km/h (7.5 mph), but this was reduced after repeated falls in the acceleration and deceleration zones. Update: This walkway was taken out of service due to passenger falls and system breakdowns in 2009 and a conventional walkway replaced it in 2011
