”You are approaching the end of the moving walkway. Please watch your step.”
(動く歩道が終わりますので、足元にご注意ください)
海外の空港で「動く歩道」が終わりに近づいてくると、流れるアナウンス。
動く歩道のすぐ近くが自分が搭乗する飛行機のゲートだったりすると
延々このアナウンスを聞くことになり、しまいには頭から離れなくなります。
(空港によってアナウンスの違いはあると思います。)
Be careful on the moving walkway! (動く歩道の上は気をつけなさい!)
子供などは動く歩道を喜び勇んで走ってしまうので、そんな時はこう言ってください。
でも、子供に叫んでいるお母さんが動く歩道上でつまずいていたりするので、
気をつけて頂きたいです。
Travelator = a people conveyor system frequently seen at airoports for example.
A conveyor belt is a system of continuously moving anything along a revolving belt system.
"It's going to take us ages to get to the boarding gate. I think we'll miss the flight!"
"Don't worry, there's a fast travelator - we'll be there in no time."
Travelator = エアポートで見かける人を運ぶコンベア。コンベアベルトというのは、ぐるりと周回するベルトと一緒にモノを運ぶシステムのことを言います。
"It's going to take us ages to get to the boarding gate. I think we'll miss the flight!" 搭乗までこれじゃすっごい時間かかるよ。飛行機に遅れるんじゃないの?
"Don't worry, there's a fast travelator - we'll be there in no time."大丈夫、早い動く歩道があるからすぐにつくよ。
Moving walkways are very handy in large airports, if you have a lot of walking to do between terminals these are a great way for you to conserve energy. It can be quite draining walking long distances with a lot of luggage.
These answers are synonyms to describe a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance.

A moving walkway
definition : A moving walkway or moving sidewalk 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.
I usually keep walking when I'm on a travelator...they go too slow!
When in airports ...we are mostly a long way from the boarding gates..
So we use these moving walkways or ' travelators' to help us get through to our
desired departure point;-D NB They can be a slower than simply walking!
And sometimes I find it quicker to avoid them;-))
A walkalator is a slow moving kind of conveyor belt that transports people from on end to another normally over short distances. Most of the time they are flat, but can sometimes be inclined or declined to go up or down a floor, normally you can find the inclined/declined ones in shopping malls.
- Conveyor; A moving band of metal or rubber that is used to carry luggage in airports.
- Moving walkway; This would be the most appropriate word or phrase to use to answer your specific question. It would simply be something that you step onto that is flat that transports you from one point in a building to the other.
As an American English speaker, I would probably refer to this as a, "moving walkway," however, I have heard a few of my British friends call this a, "conveyer belt," so feel free to use either one and a native will understand.
A travelator or autowalk is a moving sidewalk/pavement which is
often found at airports. It transports people for medium distances
from one end of a building to another and is especially convenient
when one has to carry heavy bags or luggage. A travelator or autowalk
can be used by standing or walking on them - it's entirely up to the
individual.
